About the Webinar
The cash deferrals of 2020–21 were a stark reminder that cash is king. While the focus is typically on budget, the significant amount of cash deferrals caused many local educational agencies (LEAs) to look for outside sources of borrowing to weather the cash-deferral storm. LEAs will face an additional wrinkle in 2021–22 resulting from the historic apportionment of more than $26 billion in federal stimulus funds. However, the application of federal cash management principles means that LEAs may not have the cash in hand before making a purchase.
In addition, the fiscal cliff that many school districts will experience in 2022–23—which charter schools and county offices of education are already facing—as a result of the average daily attendance hold harmless will further exacerbate cash management. This webinar will provide a “how-to” on managing cash, including a step-by-step walk-though of the Form CASH in the Standardized Account Code Structure (SACS) software, tips on how to determine if cash borrowing will be necessary, and practical examples for implementing and improving cash flow models.
This webinar will also provide LEAs with the tools they need in another year that is far from normal to evaluate and analyze current cash needs and improve practices to meet those needs.
Please join us in finding ways to better manage cash and to be prepared for the cash hurdles ahead!
