The Strategic CFO: Additional Resources

ERS worked with the Broad Center to create the Strategic CFO Guide, a leadership tool for school district financial leaders that follows up on our 2014 publication The New Education CFO with actionable best practices and exemplars. We have built out a set of additional resources from this guide–listed below–to support this work.
