School Finance Workshop
 
As leaders in every community's educational efforts, it's especially important for school boards to understand, and pay close attention to, district finances. Consequently, it's imperative that board members gain a working knowledge of how school finance really functions in Nebraska.
 
If you thought you understood a little about how the funding process works, the changes that have been inflicted by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide a different view of almost every area of your budget.

Searching for a Superintendent...
The Nebraska Association of School Boards is pleased to provide search services. The NASB Search Service offers maximum flexibility to the board, assures that the board has total control over all key decisions, and allows the board to concentrate on the most critical steps in the search — profiling the attributes, interview protocol, interviewing the most qualified candidates, and finally selecting and hiring your next superintendent.
 
Our goal is to assist the board in conducting a professional search that will not only attract the very best candidates, but will bring credit to the board for the manner in which the process was conducted.
