ASBO New York Partner Frontline (Forecast5) Presents Monthly Data & Analytics Tip

As the leaves start to fall, you may be switching gears in the business office and thinking more about long-range financial plans for your district. Engaging in long-range financial planning ensures the mission and goals of the district are kept in mind and on track. In addition, having a clear financial plan to show your community members helps to ensure transparency and fiscal responsibility. 

In Financial Planning Analytics, we have a brand-new PowerPoint called Financial Forecast that can help any SBO quickly pull together a comprehensive presentation for long-range planning. For the first time, this PowerPoint combines several familiar concepts from Financial Planning such as revenue and expense comparisons for current and projected years with some demographic information from Comparative Analytics including District Enrollment and Daily Cost Per Pupil. The result is one PowerPoint that pulls in several key aspects of a long-range plan. In addition, the PowerPoint can be easily customized with different styles and colors to suit your needs. Simply enter your assumptions in our system and the PowerPoint automatically updates, making it a real time-saver. Having a long-range plan for the district can help answer questions like:

• Where does our money come form?
• How is it spent?
• Can the district afford to continue current operations?
• Should the district consider new options?
