Scaling Education Funding Impact Through Technology Implementation

When states design transformational policy, an incredible amount of time is spent on achieving model policy language, considering all legal and financial implications, and thoughtfully engaging critical stakeholders. Too often, however, once that policy is successfully passed, states face a new problem: how to effectively implement the new policy with limited financial and human resources and very limited time. 

Audrain Advising has partnered with a client to design and implement education funding systems across multiple states. This client's role in modernizing state education programs with best-in-class technology is critical to increasing family access to funds to ensure high-quality education experiences.

Our key role is ensuring on-time delivery of the education funding platform, enabling program scalability, supporting workflow and process improvements, and increasing adoption from all stakeholder types. Through our integrated approach, we walk alongside our clients and support them in delivering on their promises, ensuring rigorous client communication and fidelity in policy implementation. Most importantly, we maximize our client's technology capacity while helping program administrators overcome strategic process and workflow challenges. 

Since implementing this client's technology solution in 2023, over $10M has been disbursed to participating schools and education service providers to support families' education needs.
