                <strong><span style="font-size: 20px; color: #002060;">Expand your knowledge and build confidence in apportionment reporting.</span></strong><br /><br /> WASBO’s Apportionment Badge Series was developed by <strong>Janette Jeffris, Director of Fiscal Services (Walla Walla Public Schools)</strong>&nbsp;and
                is designed to guide both experienced and newer learners through the process of apportionment reporting.
                <br /><br /> These self-paced micro-courses were created to supplement and strengthen the resources districts already use, with practical guidance and tips to support apportionment reporting and related processes throughout the year.
            </p>
