Tier 1 Training with APSRC

APSRC will host 6 Tier 1 Training sessions for superintendents, business managers, and other school officials this year. A.C.A. §6-20-2204 requires all superintendents and open-enrollment public charter school directors to attend Tier 1 Training each year. The law further stipulates that this annual training also is required of anyone “whose job responsibilities include preparing the budget or overall accounting responsibility” for the district. 

APSRC’s finance team offers Tier 1 training to ensure that school districts remain in compliance with state law. Our staff has extensive experience working with charter schools, school districts, administrators, and board members to implement best practices, ensure compliance with state and federal finance requirements, and develop procedures for finance operations.

Tier 1 training sessions for 2024 have concluded. The dates for the 2025 Tier 1 Training Sessions will be announced shortly.
