As the State Controller responsible for ensuring that the State can pay its bills, I believe my office should help educate working families, California businesses, local schools and other government agencies on the wide variety of important fiscal issues, State policies and tax laws that affect them on a day-to-day basis. My office collaborates with many other California organizations to make this information as widely available as possible.
Through seminars and free tax preparation assistance, we help low- and middle-income Californians take advantage of tax credits and refunds they have earned. Other events are aimed at small businesses, and include key topics such as basic information on sales and use taxes. We also help to provide schools and local agency officials with the tools, information and guidance they need to protect their funds while complying with State laws and restrictions.

Education Mandated Cost Workshop

State Controller John Chiang, in collaboration with the California Association of School Business Officials (CASBO), is pleased to announce the Northern California information workshop on education mandates. The State Controller’s Education Mandated Cost Workshop with Schools, Community Colleges and Associates will be held on Monday, August 18, 2008, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at the Hilton Sacramento Arden West, Sacramento, California. This workshop is the State Controller’s Office’s second this year on the education mandated cost process and related topics of interest to schools.
We strongly encourage you to take this opportunity to hear from state and school experts regarding how schools can better navigate through the mandate process and work together to improve the current mandate reimbursement system. State Controller John Chiang and CASBO, are proud in their effort to build stronger communication links between all interested parties to better support California schools.
