Create an environment where students can thrive
A school's single largest asset is the facility itself and its sole purpose is serving students programmatically and operationally with fiscal stewardship for the future. Too often Academies are not realizing the incredible opportunities available to maximize their facility and create lasting positive academic and financial change. From optimizing space usage with multi-year space and enrollment planning, to real estate issues, facility maintenance, and capital expense planning partner with charter school specific knowledge, skills, and expertise to take your academy to new heights.
One client in Michigan had this to say about a recent lease analysis we assisted with "I consider it a definite success, since we were not planning on those improvements before negotiations began. I also have a much better understanding of what the value of our building is going forward. Most importantly, that savings will be used to increase teacher starting salaries and introduce a retirement plan."
