FACE to FACE: Exercising Fiscal Savviness in Financially Trying Times
While Catholic schools have always faced financial challenges, the financial constraints imposed by COVID have called for a new level of resourcefulness on the part of Catholic school leaders. In this session, three experienced Catholic school leaders will speak to how they have approached challenging financial realities with increased resourcefulness in service to their socioeconomically and racially diverse schools and families. Jocelyn Smith (LEI, ENL), Jeff Eiser (LEI), and Tomas Gallegos (LEI, ACE, ChACE, and RLP) will talk through their own experiences allocating and effectively using the CARES ACT dollars, leveraging Title funds, and engaging and maintaining donor support in a financial crisis. By the end of the hour, participants will have earned an hour of continued professional learning credit and will find themselves poised to recognize and creatively seize funding opportunities that will strengthen their schools.
