San Benito CISD

Listed Reason

San Benito CISD invited me to give a speech / seminar titled "Rejuvenating You!- Stay Active Stay Positive" on Friday September 1, 2017 from 9am to 12noon. It is a talk for after-school program coordinators for both SBCISD and Lyford CISD regarding their PD to get prepared and ready for the new school year. The topic is related to my current research interest.

Additional Comments

Estimated possible 3-4 talks/ seminars in fall 2017, depending on if SBCISD invites me again. I've been giving similar talks/seminars for schools(eg,BISD),organizations(eg,RGV Counseling Asso. in its annual conf) and our UTRGV(eg,BMED Resilience Prog & FreshStart conf) for the past 5 years, all PRO BONO and GRATIS.This time they're providing $ honorarium, so I disclose here. This activity involves merely giving a talk/ seminar a month (about 3-4 per semester) for after-school program coordinators in San Benito CISD and does not create or appear to create a conflict of interest. This activity involves merely giving a talk/ seminar a month (about 3-4 per semester) for after-school program coordinators in San Benito CISD and does not create or appear to create a conflict of commitment. The estimated total time needed for this activity is 12 hours for fall 2017 (given if I am invited 4 times).

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
