MPAAA Newsblast - August 2026 
Fall Conference Registration Now Open
MPAAA proudly offers its membership the annual Upper and Lower Peninsula Fall Conferences. Our Lower Peninsula Conference will be on September 14-16 at the Bluewater Convention Center in Port Huron. Our Upper Peninsula conference will be at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island from Monday, September 28 through Wednesday, September 30th. These conferences provide valuable information for everyone working with Pupil Accounting, Pupil Auditing, and Educational Data.
MPAAA seeks to continue its effort to be your primary ‘go-to’ resource regarding school funding and the legislation pertaining to school operations and funding. Our conferences are designed to assist anyone working with student data, school funding, enrollment and membership requirements, and auditing. The one thing we can assure you, whether you are attending the Fall conference in Port Huron or on Mackinac Island, is that this conference is not to be missed!
Speakers and Sessions
Various speakers from around the state (including CEPI, MDE, MiLEAP, etc.) and local school districts and ISDs will be in attendance. Session topics range from basic sessions for beginners to advanced topics for experienced staff. We will offer duplicate sessions whenever time allows to ensure you have as many options as possible. Certification courses will also be offered for those still working on an MSBO certification. Please see the Session Description document for all of the sessions tentatively scheduled.
