Budget cuts. Federal funding freezes. Medicaid and SNAP shifts.
Colorado charter schools recently faced significant financial uncertainty — and strong leadership and clear planning were essential over the past 6–12 months.
Led by Afton Partners and hosted by the Colorado Schools Fund and the Colorado League of Charter Schools, this session covered:
- The latest information on Title I, II, III, IV, and other funds withheld at the federal level
- What was really happening with ESSER, Medicaid, SNAP, and other key revenue streams
- How to plan across multiple budget scenarios, even with limited information
- How to communicate tough financial realities to your team and board
- What effective contingency planning looked like, especially with limited staffing
This session was designed for school leaders, board members, and finance teams — including Executive Directors, Principals, Business Managers, Board Treasurers, and back office partners supporting charter schools across Colorado.
If you were responsible for leading your school through this period, this session offered critical insights.
