Budget cuts. Federal funding freezes. Medicaid and SNAP shifts. Colorado charter schools are facing real financial uncertainty — and the next 6–12 months will require strong leadership and clear planning.


Led by Afton Partners and hosted by the Colorado Schools Fund and the Colorado League of Charter Schools, this session will cover:

  • What is the latest information on Title I, II, III, IV, and other funds withheld at the federal level?  
  • What’s 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 does effective contingency planning look like, especially if you’re short-staffed?

This session is designed for school leaders, board members, and finance teams — including Executive Directors, Principals, Business Managers, Board Treasurers, and back office partners who support charter schools across Colorado.
If you're responsible for leading your school through this moment, you won’t want to miss it.
