Made possible by a grant from the Walton Family Foundation, new initiative will be piloted in Kansas City and Washington, D.C.
NEW YORK (September 12, 2019)—The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) today announced SchoolPrint: Charter School Project Management ™ (SchoolPrint), a new initiative to connect public charter school operators with experts in facilities development to help build top-quality schools—all while avoiding financial pitfalls that might otherwise eat into classroom resources.
Supported by a $1.5 million grant from the Walton Family Foundation, SchoolPrint will work with as many as 20 schools over the next year to assess their finances and their development capacity, and then connect them to pre-qualified organizations that can support their plans for new or expanded school facilities. LISC is piloting the effort in Kansas City, Mo., and Washington, D.C.
