Position control is a critical set of procedures that helps local educational agencies (LEAs) manage personnel expenditures and maintain fiscal accountability. With personnel costs typically representing 80-85% of total expenditures, implementing an accurate and effective position control system is essential for accurate projections and long-term fiscal solvency.

This technical training will provide foundational knowledge, best practices, and practical strategies to support successful position control. Participants will gain insights into improving data accuracy, strengthening collaboration between HR and business services to more effectively manage personnel-related budgets.

Who Should Attend

  • HR staff
  • Business and fiscal services staff

This training is most effective when HR and business staff attend together, as position control is a shared responsibility requiring close collaboration between both departments.
