Now that we’ve had a few months of virtual work under our belts, learn tips to help you get more comfortable and effective using the technologies, and help others to do the same.
Led by the MASBO Board of Directors, this session provides a forum for members to share questions and experiences for COVID-19 impacts in the areas of community education, fund transfers, and employment issues.
Andre Prahl from MDE starts off the session with a short presentation on CARES funding, and then the session opens up for questions and conversation about this topic, and other topics of interest.
Based on MDE guidance, the transportation scenarios for school this fall could pose some of the biggest challenges for districts. Representatives from the Minnesota Association of Pupil Transportation (MAPT), along with several Business Managers, will share their plans, considerations and questions for the fall transportation scenarios.
In this session, presenters from MDE will provide guidance and information regarding reporting for summer/extended time programs:
Deb Meier will review UFARS Reporting; Marilynn Loehr will discuss MARSS student reporting for state-approved alternative programs (SAAPs); and Mary Barrie will cover other summer program student reporting (non-SAAP).
As leaders in the many transitions of our reality today, it's important to know ways to make virtual enhance our work, not just facilitate it. This session will help you show up as an impactful leader in the remote workplace, to understand how to better structure and conduct different kinds of remote meetings, enhance your communications, and best utilize the technologies to lead, connect and get work done. Participants will also receive downloadable materials to help manage virtual communications and meetings.
How do you know what your obligations are and how can you manage the unique needs during this time. Brenna, Megan and Annie talk through simplifying what steps you need to be taking and how you can support your employees and protect your organization.
Keeping track of the CARES fund buckets can seem overwhelming, and in this session Kathryn will share how she is explaining the buckets to her School Board. To help newer MASBO members manage the funds in their districts, she will be joined by a group of other Business Managers who will share the basics of how they are doing internal tracking and coding, determining what documentation to keep, and preparing for the November 13 deadline.
