Maximizing Federal Funds Through Schoolwide Fund Consolidation
Featuring the Bureau of Indian Education's Journey from Planning to Practice



Live Wednesday, September 30th, 2026

This webinar is available free of charge but requires registration.

Consolidating federal funds in a schoolwide program can provide schools with greater flexibility to align resources with identified needs, but putting this flexibility into practice requires thoughtful planning, coordination, and a clear understanding of federal requirements.

In this session, presenters will provide an overview of schoolwide consolidation of funds, including what it means, why schools may choose to consolidate, which funding sources may be included, and the foundational requirements that must be in place. Participants will then hear directly about the Bureau of Indian Education’s journey to develop and implement a consolidation of funds process for its schools, including the cross-departmental collaboration, planning tools, and system changes that supported implementation.

The session will also explore considerations for consolidating IDEA funds, lessons learned from implementation, and practical strategies and resources that State educational agencies, local educational agencies, and schools can use to support effective consolidation of funds.
