School Business Officials may specialize in one particular area or they may be responsible for several areas, depending upon their position in the school jurisdiction. The ASBOA Areas of Practice address the role of school business officials and their importance to the overall educational management. It provides a framework for the performance of SBO duties, certification requirements, training requirements and ethical practices.
