What does CFAM offer?
CFAM is customized for Arkansas school districts and offers the following features:

Views can be shared with other licensed users
Data is updated monthly as data becomes available
Monitor required expenditure levels for Gifted and Talented, 9% M&O, MOE, and SpEd MOE. Additional required expenditure reports are regularly being developed

APSRC invites you to join us on the first Thursday of every month at 9:00 A.M. for our informal CFAM Drop-In Virtual Training Sessions with APSRC staff. During these sessions, APSRC staff cover basic CFAM use, recent software updates or changes, and tips for using specific worksheets. Participants also have the chance to ask questions, receive one-on-one assistance, and learn practical ways to use CFAM in their daily work.
