The Money Side of Expanded Learning: Braiding Funds, Budgets, & Compliance

Funding structures can feel complicated — but they don’t have to. This workshop is designed to give program leaders and business officers a clear, practical understanding of the financial landscape of Expanded Learning. We’ll walk through how to braid funds effectively, what counts as attendance, how family fees work, what changes when your budget moves from Tier 2 to Tier 1, and which school-day expenses are non-allowable. Come with your questions — leave with answers you can put to work immediately.
