Building Up and Training School Support Teams

The Bottom Line program partners with state and national experts in the areas of Finance, Operations, Human Resources, and Employment Law to provide quality professional development necessary for the sustainability of the non-academic side of charter schools.

The Bottom Line also provides charter school staff and board members with Continuing Professional Education (CPE) opportunities for certified public accountants, Continuing Legal Education (CLE) hours for Louisiana attorneys, certification credits for the Louisiana Association of School Business Officials, and annual state ethics certification for public servants.

Since 2015, LAPCS’ Bottom Line Program has hosted 30+ statewide trainings ranging from Finance, Operations, Human Resources, and Employment Law. Over 1,100+ school level staff have participated and received over 300+ hours of continuing education credits.

LAPCS not only provides training where I gain valuable insight, but they also do a great job of connecting me with charter school personnel throughout the state to create a strong network that I can reach out to when I come across various issues and challenges.
