Hiring Qualified School Business Officials – Why It Matters

Economic challenges continue to have a huge impact on our schools and force difficult choices that erode trust in the communities we serve. In these complex financial times, it is important to demonstrate to the community that your school’s finances are managed by knowledgeable and ethical administrators.

SFO certification is the professional credential that addresses these concerns. SFO certification adheres to the ASBO International Certification Code of Conduct and validates the essential skills and knowledge all qualified school business management professionals should have to meet their responsibilities.

The Benefits of Supporting SFO Certification for School Business Officials:

• Build public confidence in your district’s fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency.
• Show that your district’s commitment to high standards and ethical practice extend beyond the classroom.
• Demonstrate your commitment to lifelong learning by providing employees with a path for growth and continuous professional development.
• Stand out as a district that values initiative, professionalism, and dedication to effective school business management.

Lead the charge for fiscal integrity and accountability by supporting the Certified Administrator of School Finance and Operations (SFO) credential for school business officials in your district.
