SBO Perspectives

All SBOs are in the thick of budgeting and we thought it a great idea to bring on James Stucchio, Deputy Superintendent of School at Cold Springs Harbor CSD to give his take on best practices with the budgeting cycle. Tune in for great tips regarding the communication of your budget and the importance of an inclusive, transparent process.

It’s that time of year again! Budget season is upon us business officials but it feels a little different than years past. Find out why as we speak to Dr. Andrew Van Alstyne, Director of Education and Research and Tom Tatum, Director of Government Relations of ASBO New York where they give us the 411 on their work with New York State, the ASBO Government relations committee and what is to come from our new Governor this budget season.

Who else can bring together the heavy hitters of public education with such success? The Educational Conference Board is made up of some of the largest public education associations and unions, including ASBO New York! We speak to John Yagielski, Chair of NYS ECB, about all of the advocacy efforts this organization has taken part in over the years and why they’re so vital to keeping public education front and center of legislative sessions.

How many of us knew that the position of a School Business Official even existed before entering into school finance? The Next Generation Committee is an ad hoc committee formed under the ASBO New York Board of Trustees to map out the future of the profession. Made up of a cross section of ASBO memebers, this committee has focused on recruitment, awareness and diversity within the field. Join our conversation with some committee members to get an inside look at what they’ve been up to an how their work is molding the future of school business!
