Abstract Description : The education market is on the brink of a major shift requiring unprecedented strategic planning. Over a decade ago, when many current leaders were new to the workforce, education stimulus funds were last introduced. Now, as these funds end, education leadership faces a looming fiscal cliff along with three other drastic shocks: the end of federal funding, declining K-12 enrollment, ongoing inflation and labor market changes, and an economic slowdown. This guide helps districts not only survive but thrive through these changes, turning challenges into opportunities for success. Understanding and responding to these shocks is critical for school leaders and policymakers. We provide models and examples to navigate these turbulent times.
