Starting a new school is an audacious act of hope — and a massive operational lift. We help visionary leaders turn great ideas into fully operational, sustainable school systems.

We’re known for doing the heavy lifting: the deep research, the smart planning, the sustainable systems that set your school up for long-term success. We utilize meticulous research, data fluency, and operational systems expertise to guide your launch plan.

From charter petitions and project management to data systems and operational design, we bring clarity, momentum, and follow-through. And we don’t just advise — we build, execute, and deliver.

We have supported over 25 schools through the renewal process and have deep expertise in data & accountability frameworks. We can support:

Petitions — Top-to-bottom petition revisions with District Required Language, data updates, identified areas for programmatic updates, and a final review

Case for Renewal — In-depth data analysis to develop a strong case for renewal that aligns to criteria and authorizer requirements, compelling visualizations, and strategic insights in an aesthetically-pleasing presentation

Other — Staff coaching for your public hearing, content development for public comment, data submissions, comprehensive project management

We can provide both strategic and operational support for your authorizer oversight processes.

We can help you prepare for both authorizer reporting submissions and for authorizer site visits by conducting data analyses and compliance audits, gathering documentation, developing a visit schedule that showcases your school’s diverse programming and opportunities, preparing staff for site visits, and ensuring you are addressing all requirements.

Whether you’re seeking high-touch comprehensive supports or a more basic level of support, we can help you through your planning process with high quality results that meet all compliance and internal requirements. We have deep expertise with specific plans such as SPSA and LCAP, as well as strategic planning and organizational improvement.

Our areas of support range depending on your needs, but can include: project management, needs assessment, data analysis, strategy, narrative development, goal setting, and/or compliance reviews.

We also have an LCAP Finance Tool which makes your financial reporting process accurate and easy.
