CBA 315: Anatomy of an Audit Report (Hosted by Wayne CASBA)
The financial position of a school district is disclosed annually in a year-end financial report prepared by an independent auditor. The major purpose of this process is to determine if the financial statements submitted for audit have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Learn how to interpret key components of your district’s audit report in order to deepen your understanding of this important financial document that is presented to the public. As the public, legislature and media call for greater accountability and transparency of district finances, this course will help you be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.

CBA 323: Run the Room (Hosted by Genesee ISD)
What does it look like when the entire governance team—not just the president—runs the room with confidence? This hands-on, scenario-based workshop immerses board members in a full mock board meeting to practice motions, debate, public comment, and meeting flow. Participants also explore how the board shapes the meeting environment—from welcoming the public before the meeting to building trust after adjournment. The session strengthens governance discipline, teamwork, and positive board culture.
