School business is a very complex and demanding profession requiring a special set of knowledge, skills, and abilities. It is incumbent upon us to ensure that those that follow us have the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities. To that end, the Board of Directors of the Florida Association of School Business Officials (FASBO) has embarked on the creation of a Professional Certification Program. Recognizing the importance of attaining professionalism for school business officials, not only with regard to acquired knowledge and experience, but also in terms of the recognition and respect of peers and other professionals, FASBO’s Board of Directors established its Professional Certification Program in 2009.
The Program offers both acknowledgment and recognition for professionals at all levels of school business management. Certification is a way of recognizing those individuals with the background, training, and on-the-job experience to meet recognized standards of professional competence. Many of the school districts throughout Florida are experiencing extreme budget cuts and are restricting travel. FASBO recognizes that now more than ever there is a need for training and networking to share ideas on how to get through the next several years with reductions in budget and staff. FASBO recognizes and acknowledges this predicament and is providing scholarships to encourage participation. Industry News & Trends
