School for Elected Register of Deeds
This advanced school for those currently holding the register of deeds office, is intended to enhance the register’s knowledge and analytical tools for fulfilling their decision-making managerial responsibilities. The school covers the following topics: leadership, holding office, register responsibilities, making decisions, and exercising discretion, understanding modern real estate transactions, public employment law, liability, IT management, budgeting, public contracts, and ethics. A test will be given at the end of the school, and attendees must submit a paper within thirty days of school completion that analyzes and applies approaches discussed in the school to the register’s operations.
