Webinar: 1st & 10: Game-Planning a New Set of Post-Pandemic Downs
Event Details
best play calls for a financially prudent school
The past two global crises – the Great Recession in 2008 and the COVID Pandemic in 2020 – have impacted the independent school industry significantly, but also in very different ways. The COVID Pandemic, still ongoing, has presented challenges and opportunities to schools across the economic spectrum. The question is: What play to call next? Should the school ‘check down’ to afford for the next set of expense challenges or should it ‘go long’ and attempt to capture as much revenue as possible before the field flips? Join us for a discussion, as we explore some of the best play calls for a financially prudent school and develop some sidelines to consider going forward in the new Post-Pandemic environment.
