School Finance Template Boot Camp (formerly Budget Boot Camp)

by | Sep 19, 2022

TASA’s School Finance Template Boot Camp (formerly known as Budget Boot Camp), redesigned in 2020 and renamed last year, has long been considered a valuable asset to administrators. Recent changes to school finance formulas, including implementation of the new $100,000 homestead exemption and additional tax compression, have made the revenue estimation process more of a challenge than ever. This hands-on session will break down the steps to template completion one by one, and staff will be available to work with you individually and answer questions. The next School Finance Template Boot Camp will be conducted in conjunction with the 2024 TASA Midwinter Conference.
