In this episode of School Business Insider, we head to the Lone Star State for an honest and engaging conversation with Dr. Tracy Ginsburg, Executive Director of TASBO, and Heather Wilson, TASBO Board President and Assistant Superintendent of College Station ISD.

Heather shares her experience transitioning to a new district after nearly two decades in her previous role—discussing what it takes to build culture, relationships, and trust from day one. Tracy reflects on TASBO’s role in supporting school business leaders through professional development, peer networking, and legislative advocacy in what they both call a “deficit world.”

We dive deep into the current financial pressures facing Texas school districts, the challenges of equitable compensation, and what it takes to lead in times of fiscal uncertainty. Plus, we preview this year’s ASBO International Annual Conference & Expo in Fort Worth, Texas, with some local flavor and must-visit spots shared by our Texas insiders.

Whether you're a seasoned SBO or just starting out, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and practical wisdom.
