Description & Overview

MPAAA proudly offers its membership the annual Lower Peninsula Fall Conference. With all the changes expected in the next year this conference provides valuable information for everyone involved in Pupil Accounting, Pupil Auditing and Educational Data!

The educational system in Michigan is changing at an astounding pace. In the coming school year, we will see changes throughout our systems. From Section 25 (aka, ‘the money following the student”) to the addition of more cyber schools and virtual offerings, we are seeing, firsthand, how different our workplace may look. MPAAA seeks to continue its effort to be your primary ‘go-to’ resource regarding school funding and the legislation pertaining to school operations and funding. Our conferences are designed to assist anyone working with student data, school funding, enrollment and membership requirements, and auditing. The one thing we can assure you, this conference is not to be missed!

Speakers

Various speakers from around the state (including CEPI, MDE etc.) and local school districts will be in attendance. Scheduled speakers can be found on the posted agenda which can be accessed via the the events downloads.
