The Mentor Program is designed to provide technical assistance and advice to first and second year School Business Officials relative to the myriad duties and responsibilities that are inherent within every School Business Official’s job description. This is accomplished by pairing new Business Officials on a one-to-one basis with experienced veterans. The Mentor and new Business Official then agree to meet periodically throughout the school year in order to discuss particular job-related problems.
Why is the Mentor Program needed?
The NYSASBO Board Members feel that they have a responsibility to provide a comprehensive program of assistance designed to enhance the effectiveness of new School Business Officials in the performance of their job responsibilities. This consideration becomes particularly relevant when one realizes that the job responsibilities of a School Business Administrator are radically different from any other professional position listed within the table of organization of any school district. Many new School Business Administrators possess previous experiences that are derived from the private sector or from other areas within the field of education.
What are the goals of this program?
The Mentor Program is designed to accomplish the following specific goals:
- To provide opportunities for School Business Officials to acquire the performance skills and knowledge necessary for the effective implementation of their job responsibilities;
- To provide a resource in order to facilitate decision making associated with the particularly difficult challenges and problems that occur within the frame of reference of a School Business Official’s position;
- To develop a cadre of experienced School Business Officials who would be willing to participate in the implementation of Mentor activities.
