&lt;H5&gt;&lt;FONT size="6" color="#800000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is your district prepared to tap into this new potential revenue stream?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/H5&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#333399"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Defining Your System's Approach to the New Federal Scholarship Tax Credit&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A new federal scholarship tax credit presents both opportunities and important strategic decisions for school districts. Could this emerging funding source help expand academic programs, enrichment opportunities, career-connected learning, or student support services in your community?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Join this AASA webinar to explore the possibilities, understand the challenges, and learn how district leaders can evaluate whether—and how—this opportunity aligns with their mission, capacity, and long-term goals. The session will provide a practical framework for assessing community readiness, identifying potential uses of funds, and beginning to develop a local strategy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As you prepare for the session, reflect on these questions:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;If additional funding became available, what student needs or opportunities would have the greatest impact in our schools?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How prepared is our district to engage community partners, donors, and stakeholders in support of innovative funding opportunities?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What criteria should guide our decision to pursue—or not pursue—new funding models while remaining aligned with our district's mission, values, and strategic priorities?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="5" color="#003300"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Strategic leadership is not just about finding new resources—it's about ensuring every opportunity advances equitable outcomes and creates meaningful experiences for every student. &amp;nbsp;To learn more and register for this event click &lt;A href="https://www.aasa.org/professional-learning/event/2026/08/17/default-calendar/leveraging-the-new-federal-scholarship-tax-credit--possibilities---challenges-for-districts" target="_self"&gt;here.&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
