Attendees who complete the Boot Camp course will have 6 of the required courses for the MSBO Pupil Accounting Specialist track finished and have a great start on their MSBO certification. Each course has a complete set of handouts available for your download and reference.

Agenda & Speakers

Session 1 - Introduction to Pupil Accounting 1 - Holly Scott and Barbette Lane will be taking you through the basics of Pupil Accounting, from learning the terms and acronyms, through working with the three populations, to all the forms to use and the documents to gather.

Session 2 - Introduction to Pupil Accounting 2 - Barbette and Holly swap the lead for this continued coverage of pupil accounting rules and what to expect from an audit.

Session 3 - Overview of State Reporting - Kathi Thornton and Rob Dickinson will be going over data reporting requirements. You'll learn what applications you need to report data to, and we'll spend time in the actual applications explaining the inner workings and how to know where your data is in the submission process.

Session 4 - Introduction to CEPI - CEPI staff will provide more in-depth information on CEPI's data reporting requirements and how to ensure your data submissions are timely and complete.

Session 5 - Days and Hours - Rob Dickinson will explain the days and hours requirements and how to make sure your buildings meet them (and what it will cost if they don't!).

Session 6 - The Recipe - Rob will take you through a calendar-based review of how to complete a count day, from before school starts through the end of the audit. The items that need to be addressed at each step will be addressed, and helpful hints will be given on making sure your submission and audit go smoothly.
