Elements courses are a broad overview of a School Business area offered at least one time during the year and conducted in a format much like a college course with class time, assignments, quizzes, etc. The typical Elements courses are online, 4 week asynchronous courses with 1 unit per week. Students will complete 1 quiz and 2-3 discussion questions per unit. Students will also have the opportunity to join 3 calls with the instructor, including the initial kick off call. The in-person courses are run as a 1 day workshop where the concepts are reviewed and the discussions happen in person, with the quizzes being taken online after the in-person portion. For the in-person courses, all 4 units are covered in 1 day. The in-person courses are labeled in the event title.
Check back soon to view the upcoming Elements courses for 25/26.

In-Person – PASBO Headquarters
This program is designed for in-person, small-group, with hands on work, deep dives and lively discussions. Designed for new members or more tenured members moving in to new business office roles. Tell us what your issues are, or topical areas you desire to be addressed; or describe the issues you face and we’ll look to connect to expertise and resources. The limited enrollment will allow for presenter preparation and to address specific needs, it will allow for cross-over learning on several topics even as we address specific needs and requests of days participants. For those so new their topic or job, who are not sure what specifically to ask for…just tell us that too….the sessions will cover general and overarching school business learning while connecting to resources, networking, and finding the expertise you may need.
