Title: Innovative Financial Strategies for K-12 School Districts
Are you getting the most out of our budget? School funding is always in constant fluctuation, while operational costs continue to rise. As a result, we know South Carolina schools are confronting a growing financial strain when measured against funding deferred maintenance needs. This session—
"Innovative Financial Strategies for K-12 School Districts"—will offer district leaders a proven roadmap for navigating this funding cliff while preserving classroom instruction and delivering critical upgrades across all campuses.
Join ABM’s education team—Tammy Graham, Rick Higginbotham, strategic advisor for school districts; Brad Gregory, former school district CFO—for a powerful conversation alongside Dr. Mason Gary, Anderson 2's School Board Member and former superintendent.
Why Attend?
