    SHARS Fall Interactive: Fort Worth

    Join us at SHARS Interactive to hear from industry experts, get actionable insights into maximizing revenue and collaborate with peers! SHARS Interactive is a collaborative, in-person conference designed for Special Education administrators, business officials, and district leaders who support SHARS operations. This engaging event provides practical insight into current federal and state policy updates impacting the SHARS program, along with proven strategies to improve operational efficiency and maximize program benefits. Attendees will explore program trends, revenue forecasting, and cash flow planning, while gaining actionable guidance to strengthen compliance and financial performance. SHARS Interactive also offers valuable opportunities to connect with peers, ask questions, and share best practices across districts. You’ll get a clear picture of what changed at the federal and state level, what those changes mean specifically for Texas SHARS and where your district is most exposed going into FY27. You’ll see the model MSB rebuilt in FY26, including how we introduced draft cost reports at the start of the year, quarterly checkpoints and consulting that starts with your data, not with the filing deadline. You’ll get hands-on time in your district’s personalized MSB Success Center and inside MSB Analytics, the tool that shows you which students are in your IEP ratio, where consent is missing and where unposted sessions are sitting. You’ll see what’s new at MSB, including Speech to Text in X Logs, MSB Learning courses and coming features like the Billing Command Center and Second Look Services. We’ll also walk through how MSB partners with you across RMTS, interim billing, cost reporting and MAC.

The Texas A&M Space Institute is the first tenant of NASA’s Exploration Park.

Rob spent three decades at NASA Johnson Space Center, where he led development of Robonaut and lunar rover prototypes and retired as Division Chief for Software, Robotics and Simulation. Today he also directs space programs for the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station. First Principles is a Houston series on space, semiconductors, and robotics, with technical talks and real Q&A for founders, engineers, operators, and investors. Come with questions. Wednesday, November 11 · 5:30–6:30 PM · The Ion, Midtown Houston. Space is limited; RSVP required.
