GET PREPARED: Leveraging the Power of EBF to Plan and Communicate

New Series of Workshops Scheduled EBF is much more than a tool to funnel additional money to needy schools. It has the power to be used as a strategic communication and planning tool to detail what it costs to provide students with a high-quality education— no matter what tier your district is in. This free workshop will give you the tools you need to more effectively tell your district’s story and speak confidently and factually about the impact any property tax freeze would have on your district. By the end of the workshop participants should be able to answer three important questions: • Is my adequacy target sufficient to meet the demand for service in my district? • How do my staffing and services compare to the research-based design for the students we serve? • What is the fiscal responsibility for the state and our district, and how can we rightly design our tax rate? The free workshops will be held across the state beginning in late February and run through late March. Each workshop will be taught by two IASA Field Services Directors and participants will be eligible for CPD hours. Each participant must bring their own laptop, current year staff directory and FY 20 budgeted data for salaries. Click on the link to see the complete workshop schedule and to register.
