At CSDC we know facilities continue to be a barrier for new schools and a challenge for existing ones. The upcoming inaugural FRED conference brings together the entire village needed to address charter school facility solutions. The sessions are designed for Charter School leaders, especially those in finance and operations, as well as individuals interested in advocating for facility-related issues. Taking place on October 24-25, as an adjunct to the NY State Charter conference, it's a not-to miss event on your fall calendar. https://lnkd.in/ejrbkBn3
