Workshop #2: Funding for Tomorrow
This is not a grant writing workshop! This is about how to make your budget do more right now. A new calculator tool is shared that has found hundreds of thousands of dollars in school budgets as well as a tool for analyzing the value of your investment (VOI) to determine if the expense is worth it. There are districts that have discovered ways to create technology projects and programs even when they thought they had no money to do so.
