C.A.S.H. WEBINAR:

School Facility Program (SFP) Outlook

Monday, November 9, 2009

2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Now that the State has cashed out the $2.4 billion in SFP apportionments made by the State Allocation Board prior to the December 17, 2008 freeze, the question is: How will the state begin liquidating the $1.75 billion (and counting) in projects that have been approved (not apportioned) but remain unfunded? What are the contributing political and economic factors that will affect State cashflow and consequently the SFP in the short term? How can - and must - districts plan in the interim to maintain their building programs?

Featured speakers for this webinar include State Budget guru David Walrath, C.A.S.H. Lobbyist, Murdoch, Walrath & Holmes, and school finance expert Jeff Baratta of Piper Jaffray. Together these presenters will address the critical questions to help school districts and their consultants better understand what the short-term outlook is for the SFP.
