The responsibilities of independent school business officers are too much for any individual to fully grasp from day one. How do you know that your school’s business operations are following baseline practices in governance, finance, operations and human resources? How do you identify red flags? And if you’re confident your school has the basics down, how do you show you’re operating at a higher level?
Enter NBOA’s “Practical Guidance for Independent School Business Operations,” which helps school leaders determine where their school’s business operations may need immediate attention, are sufficient or are exemplary. Newly updated in the areas of cybersecurity, governance succession, environmental sustainability, wellness, DEI and long-range financial planning.
In an interactive PDF format, school leaders determine where their school falls within each guideline — baseline, red flag or exemplary — and can take notes within the tool to determine where they should prioritize their focus.

For schools to secure their financial health in perpetuity, they must have clearly defined operational policies and procedures as well as sound fiduciary practices. The 60 fully revised guidelines in the third edition of “Practical Guidance” cover four key areas: governance, finance, facilities and operations, and human resources. Each guideline includes a range of evidence of achievement, divided into three categories: baseline practices, exemplary practices and red flags, which should help schools identify areas of concern. This assessment tool includes an interactive action-planning worksheet to help leaders prioritize action items for their own purposes or in preparation for an accreditation or reaccreditation visit.
