A seasoned relationship-builder with a track record alongside superintendents, school boards, and district cabinet leaders
Operationally rigorous and comfortable with budgets, CRM tracking, and project management tools
Deeply committed to equity, culturally responsive practice, and instructional excellence (HQIM experience is a major plus!)
The details:
