Scenario

When school boards must balance immediate needs with future preparation

Our school board is split on budget priorities between fixing immediate infrastructure problems and investing in programs that will prepare students for jobs that don't exist yet. Parents are angry about leaky roofs and outdated textbooks, but we also know the world these kids will graduate into requires completely different skills.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
