What does the CSBO do regarding funded activities?

• A. Monitors and reports on activities related to state and federal-funded programs to ensure compliance and proper financial handling
• B. Chooses vendors for school supplies
• C. Plans after-school athletic events
• D. Creates district-wide marketing campaigns

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the CSBO oversees the district’s finances for programs funded by state and federal sources, focusing on compliance and proper use of the funds. This means monitoring activities tied to those funds, ensuring costs are allowable and properly documented, tracking budgets, preparing financial reports, and coordinating any necessary audits. This helps guarantee that grants and state funds are used as intended and with solid financial controls.

Other options don’t fit because they describe roles outside financial oversight: choosing vendors for general supplies is procurement, not specifically about funded activities; planning after-school athletic events is program planning handled by activities or athletic staff; and creating district-wide marketing campaigns falls under communications and public relations rather than financial compliance and reporting for funded programs.
