KEYNOTE: Moss Adams, LLP
Bond Program Capital Program Management: Best Practices for Schools and Oversight Committees A District’s Bond Program is often its largest expense, but knowing if the investment in capital assets is being efficiently and effectively managed can be difficult. Given the high value, long lifespan, and tangible nature of these capital assets, careful planning is critical for meeting the needs of the community while demonstrating compliant and prudent use of funds. We will cover key capital-planning best practices, including:

■ Comprehensive and systematic planning

■ Procurement, contract-type strategies, and change orders

■ Cost and budget management
