Milford parents are outraged after two motions to restore education funding didn't get the votes needed to pass. Ten votes were needed during the Board of Aldermen meeting to restore full or partial funding back to the schools and both failed to get the votes. Now the Board of Education has to decide where to make up that money in a meeting, including potentially closing a middle school or firing educators. We spoke with Kara Flannery of the Milford Ed Advocates group about the latest financial cuts to Milford schools. For more information: https://milfordedadvocates.org/ IMAGE CREDIT: Eric Urbanowicz

QP: Education Funding Should “Follow the Child” When Parents Choose Oregon Charter Schools

Charter schools are public schools, but students attending Oregon charter schools receive a fraction of the public education funding allocated to regular district school students. According to the Oregon Coalition of Community Charter Schools, charter school funding works out to about 48% of regular district schools' per-pupil funding. It's time to address this disparity so that charter schools—which successfully meet the academic and social needs of so many children—have the wherewithal to serve their students well.House Bill 3444, which received a hearing in the House Committee on Education March 12, would allow charter students to receive 95% of the ADMw (per-pupil funding) provided by the State School Fund. It also would permit charter schools to have access to other forms of funding currently restricted to district public schools, and help charters provide transportation services to their students. These changes would allow education funding to better “follow the child” to the schools of their choice and expand education options available to Oregon families.Charter schools play an important role in Oregon's education landscape. They offer local communities more diversity among their public school options and give educators opportunities to use their talents in innovative learning environments. Oregon education policies should value all options that empower students to achieve academic proficiency and reach their personal best, including Oregon charter schools.

American Institute of CPAs - Personal Financial Planning (PFP)

In this episode of the AICPA Personal Financial Planning Podcast, host Cary Sinnett welcomes Dr. Ross Riskin, Chief Learning Officer at the Investments & Wealth Institute and author of Guide to Education Planning. They dive deep into education planning strategies, including the benefits and complexities of tools like 529 plans, the importance of multi-generational funding conversations, and how to align education savings with broader financial goals. Here are five key takeaways from the conversation between Cary Sinnett and Dr. Ross Riskin: The Value of Education Planning Education planning remains highly valuable as it bridges generations, connects with next-gen clients, and addresses a significant knowledge gap among financial advisors. It also integrates with broader legacy and wealth transfer strategies. Importance of Multi-Savings Vehicles Financial planning for education isn't "one size fits all." Utilizing a combination of tools like 529 plans, brokerage accounts, and Coverdell accounts helps optimize funding, flexibility, and tax efficiency based on client priorities and state-specific tax benefits. Proactive Conversations Across Generations Successful advisors include grandparents, parents, and even extended family in funding discussions early on. Understanding their contributions and intentions (e.g., lump sums vs. future pledges) is critical for accurate projections and family alignment. Strategies for Leftover 529 Plan Funds Excess funds can be strategically used by transferring beneficiaries, repaying student loans (up to $10,000 per person), or rolling into Roth IRAs for beneficiaries to support retirement planning. Financial Aid and Investment Oversight Advisors must understand financial aid policies, tax considerations, and investment flexibility within 529 plans, especially during distribution years. Monitoring allocations ensures funds are managed efficiently to preserve capital in high-interest environments. Show Notes: Conclusion Dr. Ross Riskin reminds us that effective education planning requires proactive conversations, personalized strategies, and leveraging tools like 529 plans for tax efficiency, legacy planning, and beyond.
