Abstract

The roles of the School Business Official (SBO) have become important in school district leadership. They directly impact how financial resources and spending are planned for, distributed, managed and reported. Yet the specific roles and responsibilities of SBOs within school district leadership are still relatively unexplored. As of 2019, school districts are required to account for and break out funding and spending down to the building level for reporting at the state and federal levels. As school districts navigate these mandates, an understanding of the role of SBOs as local implementers of financial policy is important.
