Has somene done something innovative in your district?Help us to acknowledge the accomplishments and hard work of individuals, teams and entire workforces within your distrcit. Tell us about it so we can celebrate YOU! Financial tools have evolved as demands on education leaders intensify and school administration becomes more complex. The progression has been steady from paper-based processes to computer spreadsheets, accounting software, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. The private sector has been using ERP for decades to improve efficiency and decision-making. But many schools have a legacy on-premise system that requires substantial customization. New features and functionality are infrequent, and updates are labor intensive for school IT staff. These systems also don’t offer anytime, anywhere, or any-device access. The next step in the evolution of financial tools is a cloud-based ERP System. In contrast to on-premise ERP solutions that are installed locally on hardware and servers and managed by IT staff, cloud ERP is delivered as a service, managed centrally in the cloud by the ERP vendor, and accessed via a web browser.

 Continuing Education
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.
