Services for Schools

Having led charter schools ourselves, we recognize you might not have chosen this work because you love budgeting, facilities planning or compliance. It all connects to student and school success, though, so understanding the administrative side of running a school is essential. Lean on the FCI-Support to help you with an array of resources, services, and counsel — at no cost to your school.
