FY26 A.I. Student Activity Funds Made Simple
Student Activity Funds Made Simple: Fixing the Processes
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how Massachusetts’ savings account structure, warrant process, and compliance requirements impact the management of Student Activity Funds. They will also see how digital workflows for warrants, budgeting, requisitions, and cash handoffs can improve compliance while saving time and reducing paperwork. The session will highlight how clearer, standardized processes strengthen communication among students, advisors, administrators, and the district finance team. Participants will leave with practical, actionable ideas for making SAF management easier, more transparent, and more consistent districtwide.
