What Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials does

Mission

Advance education at all levels by providing its members and the general public with information regarding management, organization, and coordination of school administration.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Annual conference- annual conference provides a forum where association members can gather to study and discuss current trends and techniques in school business administration. As a result, members and others are better able to perform in such administration, thus allowing school districts to realize savings (taxpayer money) and/or providing further advancement of public education.

  2. Workshops- individual workshops and/or seminars provide educational opportunities to association members and others. Such educational opportunites provide participants with information regarding current public school administration concerns allowing ultimately, more effective and efficient administration of such institutions. As a result, such workshops/seminars serve to advance public education.

  3. Interim business administration- interim business administration includes providing interim positions and support staff to schools who need positions filled temporary in an effort to improve public education.

  4. Publications- dissemination of publications designed to assist public school organizations and administrations to become more effective and efficient, resulting in the improvement of public education.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
