Over five years, Afton’s work has evolved from “nuts and bolts” financial operations support to the kind of work that is truly in line with our vision – aligning financial practices to effective academic strategies in America’s schools.

Through our work in states and school districts across the country, we identified eight key trends that are impacting K-12 public education finance as well as recommendations moving forward. You can read our report on navigating the fiscal landscape of today’s K-12 public education system, our analysis of the data, and what states, districts, and schools must do in order to create and sustain an effective educational system for the benefit of all children.

We value your expertise and it is our hope that this piece sparks a conversation among all stakeholders on the current fiscal landscape of our school system, thus spurring innovative solutions to financial issues plaguing public education.
