Have you ever wondered what a Texas School Business Official should know to be competent in managing school business affairs? Well, the short answer is….it depends.
The role of a school business official is not consistent due to the vastly different public and charter districts throughout the state. The type of the district is among the determining factors. Is the district a public school district governed by all state laws, a charter district governed by selected state laws, or even a new District of Innovation that for the first time has flexibility related to some state laws?
The size of the district is perhaps the greatest determining factor because at the end of the day, every school district is responsible for performing similar finance and operations functions whether the business division consists of one (1) or 200 staff members. A glimpse of the number of districts by student enrollment is noted below:
So, regardless of your type of district or district size, what should YOU know? TASBO has defined eight (8) Core Competencies that are related to the role of most, if not all, school business officials
The Eight Core Competencies & TASBO Certificationby Becky Estrada, RTSBAChief Financial Officer, Lackland ISD

either directly or indirectly. The eight (8) Core Competencies, listed below, include numerous competencies or skills.
• Leadership and Management• Accounting and Financial Management• Information Technology Management (includes PEIMS Management)• Facility and Construction Management• Human Resource Management (includes Payroll Management)• Safety and Risk Management• Purchasing and Materials Management• Student Support Services
The Leadership and Management component would clearly be essential for the Chief Financial Officer or Business Manager due to the overall fiscal responsibility of the district. One of the competencies under this component is to communicate effectively. Presenting clear, concise financial data to the district stakeholders, such as the superintendent and board of trustees, is essential to serve as the financial steward of the district.
The other seven (7) components include competencies related to financial and operational areas such as accounting, auditing, PEIMS, purchasing, maintenance/operations, transportation and numerous other areas.
TASBO has established a direct correlation from the Core Components and Competencies to the TASBO Certification Course Catalog. For example, if a new school business official is unaware of the state-mandated financial accounting system, there are two classes available to close the gap: 1) ACT 106 Financial Coding for Texas Schools, and 2) ACT 106c Financial Coding for Texas Schools – Charter Schools.
TASBO certification courses are designed to provide technical and practical knowledge related to finance and operations in school districts. Experienced school business officials and other experts serve as instructors and share their wealth of knowledge and best practices. Most, if not all, certification course instructors use a teaching style that includes classroom lecture, small group activities and/or interactive polling.
As a TASBO Instructor, I enjoy providing electronic resources to facilitate implementation of the new information. For example, during a recent PAY-PER 304 FLSA Administration course,
6
I provided the following sample resources in an electronic format to attendees to facilitate their customization and use of the resources: Timekeeping Procedures, Weighted Overtime Calculation Worksheet, Compensatory Time Affidavit and employee training PowerPoint presentations.
The new TASBO Course Catalog will include the TASBO curriculum that includes courses that have been recently refreshed and/or developed to meet the current needs of school business officials. A few of the new courses include: Managing for Performance Excellence, Effective Advocacy – Navigating the Political Process, two charter-specific courses: Account Coding for Charter Schools and Special Revenue Funds for Charter Schools, Navigating TSDS PEIMS and Auditing Without an Auditor.
A practical way to use TASBO’s Components & Competencies is to determine the area(s) that you may need to gain expertise to perform your current duties or to prepare for your next promotion. Use the list of the areas to build a deficiency plan of what YOU need. Lastly, use your deficiency plan to take an on-line or face-to-face course as a refresher or to gain a new skill set.
