Understanding School Finance Dave Tobin, MASS School Finance Consultant and recovering former school superintendent has developed three self-paced workshops that can be taken independently or as a series. They are designed for highly engaged learners/leaders who are going to be responsible for development, defending, and managing the financial resources of a school district. Module A:
Foundation Budget and Adequacy Participants will master a basic overview and understanding of Massachusetts’ school finance, concepts related to the Foundation Budget, how is was initially determined, its various assumptions and components, categories of expenditures; means of monitoring and improving its reporting. Module B: Revenue from required local contribution This seminar provides a more in-depth approach with more time for sharing and locally applied groundwork. It begins with the simplicity of the present calculations to the more complicated calculations needed to meet the goal of “equity” both to students and taxpayers. Module C: Calculations of State Aid This seminar examines state aid and its direct link to an understanding the requirements of local contribution. Costs for enrollment is$150.
