It's Public Schools Week! We're celebrating the incredible work happening in schools across the country and are proud to recognize school business leaders whose work supports students, staff, & strong school communities every day! Share why you're #PublicSchoolProud during #PSW26

This week, Congress passed a #FY26 package that included relatively flat funding for #education, rejecting initial proposals to cut/consolidate #K12 programs. Learn more about what's in the final deal for Title I, IDEA, etc. from @educationweek. edweek.org/policy-politic…

Edweek reports there was at least $12B in school funding disruptions in 2025. Stable federal funding is critical for SBOs as they build school budgets. Frozen, cancelled, or delayed funds harm local operations and have a real adverse impact on students.

Can public schools benefit from the new federal tax credit program? Read the National Coalition for Public Education's (NCPE) analysis of the extent to which public schools and their students may be able to access any funding at bit.ly/4qs6BmW #SchoolChoiceWeek
