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.
