Which of the following is NOT a CSBO responsibility?

• A. Presenting the budget annually
• B. Monitoring and reporting on the activities related to state and federal-funded programs to ensure compliance and proper financial handling
• C. Developing district-wide marketing strategies
• D. Submitting annual financial reports for audit by an independent CPA

Answer: (C)

CSBOs focus on financial stewardship for the district—planning and presenting the budget, ensuring proper handling and compliance of state and federal funded programs, and preparing annual financial reports for an independent CPA audit. Developing district-wide marketing strategies, while important for enrollment and community relations, falls outside financial management and compliance duties. It’s more a communications or strategic operations function. Therefore, the item that does not fit the CSBO role is developing district-wide marketing strategies.
