He has also performed consulting work for the Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team (FCMAT). John received his Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from California State University, Fresno, and his Master’s degree in Administrative Leadership from Fresno Pacific University. A lot has happened since we have transitioned from the Governor Brown era to the Governor Newsom era. John will bring CBOs up to date on the relevant issues that might impact school operations and planning for the current year and beyond. In addition, collective bargaining in the COLA-only and post-Janus decision environment is complex. He will share what is happening up and down the state as revenues have slowed and yet we have seen bargaining unit demands increase in all areas, not just salary.
