TASBOcast

Today’s episode focuses on ways to build successful school operations teams, by working on communications and training (and recognition). We discuss this with two organizations, long-time Strategic Partner – TASB Facility Services AND our newest Strategic Partner, E3. Both companies have years of experience working closely with operations staff. And, they are planning a session on the subject at the 2024 School Operations Conference. 

We sit down with our very own SME's Becky Estrada and Jamie Spiegel to cover the deadlines outlined in the 2024-25 Master Calendar and the basics of our Professional Certification program.

In honor of TEA’s Oz-themed sessions at the PEIMS Academy, our episode title references not being in Kansas anymore.

Today’s panelists include RISE Award winner Karen Holyfield, PEIMS Director from Gilmer ISD. We also introduce a new addition to the TASBO team, Sonya Niazy – who you may know as Sonya George from her CFO days. She now joins our policy and research team.

We go over updates to PEIMS in 2024-25 and provide an overview of the upcoming PEIMS Academy.

Correction: The episode lists Karen Holyfield as PEIMS Research Committee Chair. The current chair is Chris Tawater, Director of PEIMS and Data Quality at Bastrop ISD.

In this episode, we have a conversation with Executive Director Tracy Ginsburg and Board President Shay Adams. We discuss the current state of TASBO and how we did in 2023.

We close the episode with a brief update on the upcoming TASBO Engage Conference in Houston.

In this episode we host Region 7's Mechelle Carpenter and Gilmer ISD's Karen Holyfield.
