Play the Evolving Funding Strategy Game: Complying with Energy Code & Optimizing Funding

New energy codes and legislation are raising the bar for districts while funding opportunities are in a constant state of evolution. Please join us for a panel discussion in which panelists will share information about programs, incentives, rebates and grants that could provide alternative project funding for districts to achieve new energy code compliance and CALGreen requirements. The emphasis will be on strategies that allow districts to do more with less. A detailed case study will present an example of how Marysville JUSD located in Northern California met new energy codes by leveraging funding incentives that allowed improvements to touch every site in the district, which made projects eligible for state matching funds. This was a tremendous feat for a district that had not been able to pass a bond in over 20 years. Participants will learn more about current and future legislation, its impact on districts, and what supplemental funds are available to achieve compliance with energy code.

Oh, The Places People Go! School Districts Talk Strategies for Managing Enrollment Swings as Populations Shift

Districts of all stripes are grappling with shifting populations. But the challenges—and the approaches to dealing with them—are all over the map. Literally. Mountain towns are dealing with the influx of lifestyle refugees—and their families—who are now able to work remotely. New housing developments are overwhelming rural areas. Urban districts are watching ever-increasing housing prices drive young families to seek more affordable housing elsewhere or double and triple-up to be able to stay close to family, employment options, and needed services. And some larger districts are facing all of these and more as the communities within their boundaries evolve unevenly.

A4LE has brought together a panel of your peers from a variety of district sizes, locations, and socio-economic realities to share their responses to enrollment challenges in Part One of this informative webinar on strategies for adapting facilities to accommodate changing enrollment patterns, and conversation on other challenges. The series will cover topics such as strategies for:

• Projecting future enrollment numbers
• Equitable Funding and Resource Allocation
• Optimizing the use of existing facilities
• Flexible classroom spaces and modular designs Involving parents and community members in decision-making processes
