Description & Overview

This virtual class will be held over 6 sessions will be held on July 17, 18, and 19 (Wednesday - Friday) via a Webex Webinar. Sessions each day will run 9 AM-Noon, then 1 PM-4 PM.

We've heard from a lot of our new members that they need a more comprehensive training to start them off on the right foot in Pupil Accounting. In response to this request, we've created a 3-day boot camp to give those new to the field a firmer grounding in the basics.

Attendees who complete the Boot Camp will have 6 of the required courses for the Pupil Accounting Specialist completed, and have a great start on their MSBO certification.

Agenda & Speakers

Day 1 - Pupil Accounting Basics - Tasha Speck and Rob Dickinson will be taking you through the basics of Pupil Accounting, from learning the terms and acronyms, through working with the 3 populations, to all the forms to use and the documents to gather.

Day 2 - CEPI and State Reporting - Rob Dickinson will be going over all of State and federal reporting required of School Districts, and review an invaluable tool that can assist you in your data collection and reporting.  In the afternoon, Rob will cover CEPI applications in more detail, and discuss specifics of their collections.  

Day 3 - Days and Hours & "The Recipe" - Rob Dickinson will spend the morning explaining the days and hours requirements, and how to make sure your buildings meet them (and what it will cost if they don't!). In the afternoon, 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 how to make sure your submission and audit go smoothly.
