ISSUES
What we focus on
We focus on structural issues at the intersection of finance, academics and strategy
-
Financial Uncertainty
American public education systems have entered a new era of financial hardship. Navigating these challenges requires a planning and advocacy that responds to the complex forces at play.
-
Special Education
Special Education costs are rising faster than most district budgets can absorb. Districts need better tools to understand, project, and plan around these costs — without shortchanging students
-
Central Office Design
A well-designed central office can be a force multiplier for schools. It removes barriers, provides the right supports, and operates lean enough to protect resources for students.
-
Declining Enrollment
Enrollment declines are hitting districts across the country — and the financial consequences are significant. Fixed costs don't shrink as fast as per-pupil revenue does.
