Highlights From 2023 School Survey

December 20, 2023 By IACS

There have been significant changes in the educational environment for our schools this year.  With the passing of the “Students First Act” in January of 2023, the year was spent shifting gears as schools sought to implement Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) with fidelity and to navigate a quick turnaround on rules and changes in their business offices.
