Pre-conference session
Learn to budget: Best practices and trends in school budgeting
Friday, June 27 from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Following the pandemic, school districts were able to use grant funding for initiatives aimed at closing the academic gap. Now, as this funding is eliminated, districts must find ways to sustain many critical programs while addressing substantial budget gaps. In this session, speakers will discuss strategies for identifying budget cuts, options for new revenue, and how to successfully transition from one-time funding sources to sustainable models for continued academic progress. In addition, speakers will highlight ongoing challenges in school budgeting, such as balancing capital and operational needs, managing long-term enrollment trends and short-term fluctuations, and planning for both instructional and support personnel. The session will introduce GFOA’s Smarter School Spending tools and offer a networking opportunity for school finance leaders.
