The track session will focus upon identifying borrowing opportunities for Districts, not only carrying over positive cash balances, but attempting to preserve liquidity. During these volatile economic times, more than ever, Districts are being scrutinized by the rating agencies for their reaction and proactive action plans to address the Covid-19 phenomenon. As such, there has been a tremendous amount of emphasis placed on protocols surrounding the preservation of cash balances and addressing future levy cycles to bolster cash reserves.

Districts with significant carryover balances too often address permanent improvement and capital needs through direct cash purchases, with a reliance upon philosophies that issuing debt or financing such needs is considered squandering money on interest costs.

This concept currently flies in the face of what rating agencies are now emphasizing as the new normal, cash is king. The Coronavirus phenomenon will have a ripple effect on every public entity, whether it be a degradation of taxable values or a rise in delinquencies on real estate taxes.

School districts are often the last party to the table on economic development projects. As a result, boards and treasurers are cast as either pro-development (accepting abatements negotiated before the schools were involved) or anti-development (daring to challenge the pre-negotiated terms). Big Walnut Local School District has taken a different approach.  This district, in rapidly-growing Delaware County, has in recent years become actively engaged in economic development projects big and small.  As a result, the School District officials have a strong partnership with other local government representatives, and together they have protected School District revenues while supporting growth. In this panel, Treasurer Jeremy Buskirk of Big Walnut LSD, Marvin Founds of Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, and Rob McCarthy of Bricker & Eckler LLP will discuss the secrets to Big Walnut LSDs success.  They also will provide an overview of some of the latest trends and legal developments in economic development issues facing school districts.

Even before COVID-19 struck, many district financial leaders were investing in ways to better manage their business operations. While regular reporting was helpful, it often lacked the real insight needed to take action and typically looked too far back to be effective. As a result, Finance leaders found themselves reacting to problems vs. preventing them and important resources of time and money werent always optimized.

Real-time analytics dashboard have been proven as a way to help district leaders more effectively manage their finances and business operations. When built correctly, dashboards present critical information in an intuitive, easy to view format that encourage action and decision making. This means teams can spend more time analyzing results and less time trying to run and interpret reports. In this session we'll review a number of case studies for how districts improve budget efficiency and streamline operations with real-time analytics including:

•    Actively monitoring limited budgets and re-applying when possible
•    Proactively drive district finance and business operations with data
•    Track and manage daily operations for purchases and expenses

After tracking the results of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives since the 1960s, the research shows that some of the most popular DE&I programs are actually counterproductive. Yet, organizations continue to use them with little regard to their outcomes. Why does this happen? What characteristics differentiate effective from ineffective DE&I initiatives? This discussion will explore what the research says and three innovative changes needed to disrupt the cycle of ineffective DE&I initiatives and create positive change. This session will focus on three learning objectives:
1. Participants will understand which diversity initiatives are most likely to fail and why.
2. Participates will be able to identify the characteristics that increase a programs likelihood to have positive impact.
3. Participants will discuss three approaches to change the trajectory of diversity programming and initiatives.

America’s former reliance on cash is quickly being overtaken by digital transactions. The balance has decidedly tipped toward digital, and K-12 districts now have the opportunity to reduce cash transactions across departments district wide. School districts across the nation, like many organizations, have also been challenged to achieve high standards of cleanliness and disinfection to keep students, staff, and volunteers healthy.

This session includes information on:

• Removing cash handling and why
• Touchless technology
• How we can assist in COVID-19 best practices

Excel can be a great tool to manipulate numbers and create simple reports. But with budgets and time cut the point in time aspects of Excel limit your ability to make accurate data-driven decisions. Many districts are starting to look into real-time analytics dashboards to aggregate data and present it in visually intuitive ways to improve decision making and accelerate daily operations.

In this session well review a few case studies for how Ohio districts can use dashboards to:

• Aggregate data across Finance and SIS platforms to monitor trends like Per Pupil Equity and spending patterns across various populations
• Monitor budgets and expenses to optimize funding and outcomes
• Track workflows and approvals to ensure requisitions are completed on time and budget
• Empower functional leaders to better manage their own budgets and approvals
