ADE Summit 2025

Just about the time you had figured out the new state system for scholarships, A.C.C.E.S.S is passed and you need to learn more! The goal of the session is to provide updates to how scholarships will stack with each other, how students can troubleshoot SAMS, and how you can be the supportive role in anticipation of the next level.

This session will cover data fields within the FinancePLUS software that are reported in the state reporting cycles and will troubleshoot cycle errors and corrections. This session is for any users who enter data into the eFinance software, especially for the SIS Coordinator for cycles 1,8,9.

ACA §6-20-2204 requires Superintendents and bookkeepers to attend a minimum of 2 hours of annual training on school laws, expenditure of school funds, fiscal accountability, school finance, ethics, and financial accounting and reporting. This class meets the requirements of the law. Additionally, school districts are required to provide 2 hours of Tier II training. Some districts choose to use this course to meet that requirement.
