LPDC Information

LPDC History
In 1996, Ohio’s General Assembly authorized the establishment of Local Professional Development Committees (LPDCs) and mandated that such be established in every school district and chartered nonpublic school by September 1998. At the same time, other educational agencies (such as OASBO) became eligible to establish LPDC’s that were structured in a similar fashion to the structure prescribed for school districts.

OASBO’s LPDC Goal
True to our organization’s mission of providing school business officials with premier services and advocacy, OASBO saw a critical need to provide licensed individuals working in other professions, as well as unemployed or retired Ohio School Business Officials (SBOs) a means in which to link quality professional development to the maintenance of their Treasurer/CFO/ School Business Official licensure. Thus, OASBO created its LPDC committee. Click here to download the Local Professional Development Committee Guidelines document.

Getting Started
Any licensed individuals working in other professions or any unemployed or retired treasurers who need to complete yearly LPDC requirements to maintain licensure are eligible to participate in OASBO’s program. In other words, the OASBO LPDC can ONLY serve individuals with a current, valid Ohio treasurer or business manager license. Just follow the simple steps below.
