PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Vincent Tolbert, CPA
Chief Financial Officer, Worcester County Public Schools
President, ASBO MD&DC
Welcome to our 66th annual spring conference! As you know, I am the
Chief Financial Officer for Worcester County Public Schools, and it truly
is a pleasure to have so many of my fellow ASBO colleagues travel to
our county each year at this time to attend our conference. Over the next
several days, attendees will have the opportunity to join us for our annual
golf outing, meet up with old friends at our opening night gala, attend
40 informative and timely educational sessions and visit with
approximately 178 exhibitors. Please do not miss our student showcase on
Monday afternoon. A group of first graders from Ocean City Elementary
School will be entertaining us and will help us remember why we do what
we do! Included in our educational sessions is a Monday morning session
entitled “Menu for Decision Makers”. During this food service session,
different vendors will prepare items for attendees to sample to decide if
those items may be something they want to add to the food service menus
at their schools. On Tuesday afternoon, Wilkes University will offer a
session entitled “School Business Leadership in the 21st Century”. The
highlight of our conference will be two phenomenal presentations from
our motivational keynote speaker, Dave Weber. Following our lunch on
Tuesday, Dave will be delivering his first keynote “Sticks and Stones
Exposed”. At our closing session on Wednesday morning, Dave will
conclude our conference with his presentation “Leadership Redefined”.
Dave promises to deliver information that will help us grow as leaders
while making us laugh at the same time.
Our spring conference and the many wonderful opportunities it provides
would not be possible without the dedication and many long hours of
hard work from our volunteer committees. I want to personally thank
Tom Mulligan, chair of professional development, Cindy Reilly, chair
of exhibits, and Suzanne Jones, chair of conference arrangements. These
individuals and their committee members have done a tremendous job of
putting together all of the wonderful opportunities offered to you over the
next several days.
Thank you again for choosing to attend our conference. I hope you enjoy
it and your time in Ocean City!

is that leadership is also about influence. Dave has
twelve proven and time-tested strategies that will
bring about positive results in both our professional
and personal lives.
Dave Weber believes people like to laugh and have fun: “Talk to anyone who
has just returned from a meeting, conference, or retreat and the first thing they’ll tell
you is whether or not it was fun while they were learning – then they’ll discuss
content.”

standardization. All this can be achieved with little risk to the buyer and in a public bidding
environment. A case study will be presented where this methodology was utilized in a $195 million
comprehensive capital improvement project spanning 6 years that resulted in a materials and
equipment savings of over $6 million as compared to standard bidding. Although well-suited for

practices to listen to both the community, teachers and students. Trends in collaboration spaces also
contribute to even more activity which creates the need for new ways to manage that activity. Research
shows that flooring plays a role in areas like acoustics, indoor air quality, safety, and even the thermal
condition of the space to affect the students’ performance outcomes. A comparison of multiple flooring

Clean Activity Fund Audit Simplified
Dava Watson, Activity Fund Management Consultant, KEV Group
School districts are responsible for millions of dollars of public funds generated through student
raised funds. For this reason, they are extensively monitored both formally by auditors and informally
by the general public. The financial goal for most districts and schools is to obtain a “clean” audit.
Unfortunately, due to the high volume of cash flowing through schools, this can be challenging. Every
successful audit is based on strong leadership and solid communication from the Central Office to
principals, teachers, and school bookkeepers. Finance staff that identify issues and address them
prior to an audit will set themselves up for success. We at KEV Group have compiled a checklist from
a variety of sources to help ensure schools are ready for audit. Learn how to always achieve accurate
results.

Like the other 17 members of MABE’s group insurance pool, Caroline County Public Schools
was using an online training course provider – for free – to train its faculty and staff on mandated
topics such as bloodborne pathogens, child abuse, and bullying prevention. Wanting to provide a
more comprehensive safety program that addressed more risk factors led the district to stop use
of the provided online courses, even though they were free, and implement a comprehensive risk
management and school safety program. The district now has automated mechanisms to manage
online training, staff accident reporting and investigation, safety data sheets for chemicals, and more

Measuring Up; Using Pre- and Post-Occupancy Evaluation to Assess High
Performance School Design
Sean O’Donnell, Principal Perkins Eastman
A design research study conducted by Perkins Eastman for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School, a
PreK-8 school located in Cambridge, MA to evaluate the achievement of the project’s design goals and
to understand if and how high performance design strategies impacted building occupants’ well-being
and performance. In both the pre- and post-occupancy evaluations, many sides of student and staff
satisfaction, performance, wellness, and other psychological and physiological experiences were
investigated. The methodology included before and after questionnaires; archival data review; literature
review; and on-site measurements of indoor environment quality, including daylight, thermal comfort,
acoustics, and air quality. The study showed that the high performance design strategies employed not
only had a significant impact on occupant satisfaction, but also had measureable impact on building
performance. These findings tie high performance design strategies to improved building performance
and increased satisfaction, bringing the theoretical value-add proposition for high performance design
into reality.

On the Road to a New Facility
The challenges facing school districts to fund school construction projects are only getting
greater. With escalating construction costs, tightening budgets, and aging infrastructure, it’s
any wonder anything gets built. Coupled with exciting new strategies in education, learning and
facility technologies, this seemingly contradictory collision of financial challenges and educational
opportunities has actually been fueling a new breed of school design. Dorchester County, on
Maryland’s Eastern Shore, is in the midst of replacing one of its two high schools. As a rural, often
under-resourced district, Dorchester must optimize their scarce and precious capital dollars as they
look to improve the learning environments for their students. Facing a seemingly impossible task
– securing almost $50-million to replace the North Dorchester High School – the leadership at the
County banded together through this common goal. By focusing on the school as a true community
asset, the community, school district, county government partners and their planning team embarked
on a multi-year journey. This session will explore the strategies and tactics the county and design
team employed, ultimately securing full county and state support for this vibrant new 21st-century
learning environment, designed not just FOR the community, but also WITH them and ultimately BY

Who Ya Gonna Call? - DCPS Strategic School Operations (SSO) Call Center
Jacqueline Speight, Manager, District of Columbia Public Schools
DCPS’ Strategic School Operations (SSO) Call Center provides communication linkages between
schools, central office and school strategy and logistics personnel. The SSO Call Center is
responsible for receiving and prioritizing general inquiries, emergent, non-emergency and emergency
communications from Instructional Superintendents, Principals, DSL/MSLs, Strategic School
Operations Specialist, and central office staff. This work involves evaluating incoming calls and emails
to determine the appropriate level of engagement, then transmitting information and messaging to
appropriate stakeholders, departments, and offices. During this session, participants will explore
how to identify caller’s needs, clarify information, assess and transmit data to coordinate appropriate
response resources through resolution. Participants will also learn how to respond to, and support
schools before, during and after emergent issues and emergencies by examining baseline and trend/
gap analysis data on operational matters.

DC Public Schools Recycle Program
Beth Gingold, District of Columbia Public Schools Recycle Program; Renard Alexander, Director of
Facilities Initiatives, District of Columbia Public Schools
The DCPS Recycles! program has recognized more than 50 schools for recycling success and is
rolling out organics recycling in cafeterias in all 115 schools over the next two years. In DC Public
Schools (DCPS), recycling performance is not correlated with indicators related to demographics
or academic performance. Success is highly dependent on principal and custodial leadership,
and whether there is a culture established of teamwork between custodial and teaching staff. This
presentation will demonstrate how every school can recycle by sharing success stories from across the
city.

LEADERSHIP 66TH ANNUAL SPRING CONFERENCE SESSIONS
TUESDAY, MAY 22, 2018—2:30 PM
School Business Leadership in the 21st Century: Leadership Amplified
Dr. Rhonda Rabbitt, Dean, School of Education, Wilkes University
As stated in today’s School Business Leadership in the 21st Century presentation session, tactical
knowledge is needed for new and veteran administrators. It is the core of what is offered in our
online School Business Leadership program, but there is another characteristic which is equally
important: Your ability to lead. In my morning presentation, I highlighted the truth that you are the most
challenging person you will lead. In this 2-hour afternoon workshop, we will continue the process of
personal discovery and contemplation in order to best set up plans for individual growth and success
as a leader.
Originally scheduled as a Gaddis Leadership Academy Meeting; however this session is now open to
all attendees
