IASB warns against propping up flexibility with categorical funds; explains SBRC and MSA timing
Presenters told the board categorical (restricted) balances can mask an otherwise weak unrestricted position, outlined how Modified Supplemental Amount (MSA) and special-education deficits interact with UAB calculations and recommended spending-down categoricals where appropriate to reduce SBRC scrutiny.

It should be noted that the potential measure did not poll well earlier this year. But the language will be amended to ensure that a lap pool will be included in a new SBRC if voters approve it in November.

I also want to point out school board President Ruthina Malone said she spent hours in the office of Craig Hansel when he was CFO in Iowa City to learn school finance. He now is on the SBRC board that district leaders went before today, but he recused himself from the hearing.

At @rossahmed.bsky.social's excellent SBRC talk tonight, there was discussion as to whether the increase in Scottish records of North American landbirds was largely related to more birders visiting Shetland in recent years. No doubt that has helped, but if you assume coverage of Fair Isle... (1/3)

Huge thanks to @scottishbirding.bsky.social and the SBRC team, particularly @fatpaulscholes.bsky.social and @steelyseabirder.bsky.social, and all the speakers, for putting this fabulous conference together. More please! #BirdingScotland
I really enjoyed the first evening (of three) of the SOC’s SBRC online conference. Cracking talks from Ian Andrews on Fair Isle and Mark Lewis on predicting the next British firsts. Glad to see the Online Scottish Bird Report (oSBR) get a big plug too. #BirdingScotland
