Space Use

Feeling the Squeeze?

Space Use for Academic and Financial Success

A regular hit! Your building is the single-largest financial asset a charter school has, yet our space use practices receive remarkably little attention as we put band-aids on space issues semester-to-semester and year-to-year. Poor space usage can be the root cause of unnecessary frustration, academic challenges, and financial waste. Break the cycle and take a fresh look at the metrics of space usage, best practices, and viable improvement strategies that you can use to give your school an academic and financial edge for success.

This session will be a combination of teaching the fundamentals of smart space use practices and talking with your team about their specific space use challenges in their building taking away action steps they can take to create a more positive academic environment that increases services to the students.
