Learning When to Hold'em and When to Fold'em in Memphis

School Budget Hold’em Facilitates the Budget Development Process

Education Resource Strategies, October 2010

If your school district is facing a budget issue, it might surprise you to learn that the solution might very well lie in a game of cards. That certainly was the case Memphis City Schools, who used our School Budget Hold’em concept to help them take their budget conversations in a new direction.

“Everyone left with a good feeling, as the savings percentage was impressive…. A lot of them were happy because, instead of having tunnel vision and being grilled by a committee, they were able to hear what everybody said and got to have input.”
—Pamela Anstey, Chief Financial Officer of Memphis City Schools
