Tariffs, Trade, and Tuition: What Independent Schools Need to Know

Join our friends and noted economists Roger Tutterow and Ben Scafidi for a timely and practical look at how proposed tariff policies under a second Trump administration could impact independent schools. From rising costs to shifts in consumer confidence and family spending, this session will help school leaders understand possible financial ripple effects and begin thinking strategically about how to prepare—without panic. Designed for CFOs, heads of school, administrators, and trustees seeking clarity in uncertain economic times.
