In these times of financial scarcity in education--an everywhere else--there's a source of funds you may have overlooked: cutting waste out of your system. If you think of the tip of an iceberg as the value-added work that produces desired results in schools, everywhere below the surface is waste. It's massive. Yet many educators don't know how to find it, measure it, analyze it or create an action plan to reduce it. There is a solution!!

Join Jack Grayson, Founder and CEO of APQC, as he delineates a proven methodology to cut waste and free up time and dollars that directly impact student success. Learn how to make transformative improvements without job elimination and blanket cost reductions. Find out how to remove activities and expenses that don't add value and uncover hidden funds in your school, district, or state.
