“Threading a Moving Needle: A panel with the K-12 representatives of the School Financing Review Commission”
In 2025, the Governor signed legislation creating the School Financing Review Commission. With several meetings behind them, goals set, and a report submitted, hear from the K-12 administrators and board members on the Commission as they update us on the goals, progress, discussion, and reports of their work. This panel will be facilitated by NASB’s Colby Coash, and Brian Maher, Commissioner of Education.
