12:30            Registration Opens
1:00-4:00     Preconference Workshop: The ABCs of Negotiations with Perry Law Firm
The single biggest part of a school district’s budget is personnel costs. Salaries and benefits alone usually represent around 90% of a district’s total expenses. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that a district understand the negotiation process and legal requirements in order to ensure that these expenses are a reasonable and good use of taxpayer dollars. In this session, we will walk through the negotiation process and offer practical suggestions, including specific items to consider heading into the 2025-2026 negotiations timeline.

Thursday, October 3
7:30             Registration, Continental Breakfast, and Exhibits Open
