We are saddened to hear of this tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family and school community.  

TREA past president Mark Keahey and Allen Garner, both former school administrators, have created Education Administrative Resources (EAR) The Budget Notebook, a tailored school finance training program designed for new superintendents and business managers/CFOs preparing for the upcoming budget cycle. These virtual sessions are also ideal for experienced school leaders seeking to learn and grow their skills in the area of school finance and budgeting.  

Participants will receive practical tools, resources, and training for budget preparation, along with step-by-step guidance to organize and estimate their district’s revenue projections. The cost is very affordable at $495 per person.

Stay tuned to see how and when the social security benefits will be recalculated for those affected.
