Session Lineup


SHARS 360: Understanding the National Landscape


We will review the latest CMS webinar outlining national School-based Medicaid requirements, along with emerging trends in desk review findings and compliance expectations across Texas.


Mastering SHARS Operations: From Insight to Action


This segment includes a district spotlight, where a district will share the internal changes they implemented to strengthen their SHARS program and improve outcomes.


Participants will also take part in a hands-on session using MSB’s reporting and analytics platform, learning how to effectively monitor and manage the new SHARS program.


Bring your laptop or tablet if you would like to participate in the interactive portion.


SHARS Financials: Preparing for Budget Season


We will examine the current SHARS funding makeup, highlight service areas trending as the biggest financial drivers, and discuss how districts can use this information to prepare for upcoming budget planning and forecasting.


How to Attend


We’re offering in-person sessions in multiple regions, providing valuable opportunities for collaboration, discussion, and hands-on learning alongside peers and SHARS experts.


A virtual option will also be available for those unable to attend in person. Please note that the virtual session will not include the District Spotlight presentation or the hands-on experience with MSB’s reporting and analytics platform, which are exclusive to the in-person seminars.
