Are you Overpaying for
Identify pricing anomalies and high-risk spending patterns before public dollars are lost.
Every dollar your district saves means more for your students. Yet limited visibility into fair market pricing allows overcharges, pricing anomalies, and fraud risk to go unnoticed, quietly draining public funds. EdSpend continuously monitors spending across peer institutions to surface high-risk patterns and inflated costs before they compound. Strengthen oversight, protect your budget, and redirect dollars back to what matters most: student outcomes.
