Management Reviews

The overall objective of a Management Review is to provide expert assessment of all aspects of school district management—the results are designed to be both an in-depth analysis of what is and a blueprint for what can be. Management Reviews are conducted by review teams of recognized, expert practitioners in consultation with school district administration.
