2025-2026 Upcomming Events
The sessions focus on an overview of the financial issues and related challenges faced by school districts over the next five-years. Opportunities and threats will be discussed and suggestions to overcome financial and other barriers will be addressed. School finance permeates all facets of every school district. Thoughtful and analytical approaches to discover the financial health of a district are paramount to the success of every district. Then a proactive and long-range approach is needed to ensure financial success. The result is a school district in which students engage in robust and successful educational experiences as the mission of the district materializes.
In so far as practical, actual data from districts attending sessions will be used to illustrate issues, lessons and enhance understandings.
