Interview with Mr. Thomas White of the Michigan School Business Officials

In this week's interview we talk to Mr. Thomas White, Executive Director of the Michigan School Business Officials (also known as MSBO). While many people might not be used to seeing the words Michigan School and Business Officials together, Tom assures us that in many cases schools are a community's biggest business.
"Most people understand the curricular side of education, but there is a business behind that curricular side; whether it's transportation, food services, managing facilities, which are multimillion, hundreds of millions of dollars in terms of their value, and that's what our members do. They do all those things. They do the auditing, accounting, and payroll, and purchasing, and all the things that keep a school going."
