Event Description

The valuable information covered at the winter and spring ISDLAF+ seminars has been recognized as meeting the requirements for a brand new AAC – Assessing Financial Condition and Preparing for Collective Bargaining AAC #1896.

The Academy will be structured into two segments:

A. Academy attendees will be introduced to tools and techniques to assist them in analyzing the financial status of the school district. The analysis will be to expose them to "best practices" employed by school districts, regardless of their wealth, as to what steps and procedures to become familiar with to assist them in providing the Board of Education with recommendations based on factual data not hypothetical analysis. They will be exposed to data search procedures and analytical information to be used for comparative purposes for similar Illinois school districts. The workshop will introduce them to data collection from all Illinois school districts that been compiled into useable graphs, charts, database sets, and other analytical techniques. Upon completion of the academy they will have developed a skill set to search for information that will be valuable to them in managing the financial affairs of the school district.

B. With this newfound skill set the academy attendees will be in a position to analyze salary schedules, health benefit plans, negotiated agreements, along with other data points in developing labor relations skills to benefit them in collective bargaining. Labor attorneys will discuss current labor conditions and bargaining insights to assist academy attendees on what to anticipate in labor negotiations. This academy is being offered in conjunction with the ISDLAF+ School Finance Seminars!

The academy will be divided over two half-day meetings at the following dates and locations. To earn credit, you must attend both days at your chosen location.
