Keynotes

More Than a Spreadsheet: The Superintendent & Business Manager Partnership

Heidi Sipe

Heidi Sipe, Superintendent of Umatilla School District, will explore the critical, often understated, partnership between a superintendent and a business manager. We'll dive into why two sets of eyes are always better than one and how sharing the weight of a district's financial responsibilities ensures a stronger, more resilient organization. From the shared accountability of being good stewards of taxpayer funds to the recognition that every financial decision impacts a child's one and only chance at a quality education, this talk will reframe the role of the business manager from a numbers expert to a vital partner in shaping student success.
