This presentation will focus on current topics of a legal and practical nature that are of concern and interest to Ohio school district CFOs, including any relevant changes in the Ohio Revised Code and/or State policies, opinions rendered by Ohio courts and/or the Ohio Attorney General, and initiatives of the federal government (including tax reform). It is important for school district CFOs to remain current on a wide variety of matters that routinely cross their desks, as well as those matters that are episodic or in some cases unexpected – from financing permanent improvements, to raising new revenue at the ballot box, to managing the use and disposition of public assets, to complying with federal tax and disclosure covenants, to leasing property, etc. This presentation, from the perspective of a lawyer/former school board member, will focus on the legal and practical aspects of matters such as these.
The course will enhance the attendees’ understanding of the law that is integral to their duties, not just to protect school districts from pitfalls and liability, but also to enhance service to taxpayers through an understanding of legal options and opportunities.
