2024-25 Budget Cohort for Texas District Leaders – January Event (In-person)
The 2024-25 Budget Cohort for Texas District Leaders is a series of nine events to be held throughout the school year. It is designed to allow your district to better utilize its finance and business functions to support and enhance other areas, including curriculum and instruction, human resources, and special programs, so your superintendent, chief financial officer, chief curriculum officer, and human resources officers should attend together. Up to three team members are included in the registration fee! All training will be led by subject matter experts identified by TASA, TASB, and TASBO and will follow this schedule of topics.

This event should not be confused with the School Finance Template Boot Camp to be held 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Sunday, January 26, in conjunction with the TASA Midwinter Conference. The boot camp requires Midwinter Conference registration to attend. If you are already registered for the TASA/TASB/TASBO Budget Cohort for Texas District Leaders series, you are not required to purchase Midwinter Conference registration to attend this January 27 event – although you must register for the Midwinter Conference to attend any other sessions in the convention center.
