Read Between the Numbers: A Board Finance Cheat Sheet

Most charter school boards don't see financial trouble coming until it's already a problem. It’s not because they aren't paying attention; it’s because they're not sure which numbers matter or what to do when something looks off. This session builds a simple cheat sheet of financial indicators every board member should know, what healthy looks like, and how to spot warning signs. Participants will leave with something they can actually use at their next board meeting.
