Operating a high-quality charter school in New Mexico requires strong financial controls and accurate accounting at a minimum, but achieving financial sustainability — especially for new and growing schools — requires more: forward-looking cash-flow analysis, dynamic financial projections, and active advocacy on behalf of charter schools’ interests. Securing or expanding viable facilities that can accommodate growing student populations, planning in advance for changing teacher and staff salaries and benefits, and helping schools seek out and secure opportunities for local, state, and federal funding are all key to ensuring that schools can maintain their focus on delivering results for the students and communities that depend on them.
