PSBA's Consulting Solutions

Your district faces many challenges, including:

• Leadership turnover. The number of Pennsylvania’s superintendents and school business officials retiring continues to grow as the number of applicants diminishes. And every two years, one-third of the school board seats in Pennsylvania turn over.
• District finances. More mandates, limited state and federal aid and soaring operational expenses mean that districts must be more creative with their limited dollars to ensure student success.
• Increased accountability. The federal No Child Left Behind Act and the threat of Graduate Competency Assessments are holding schools more accountable for student achievement than ever before.
  Are you preparing for the future?

School districts face many unique issues, and board members and administrators can’t be expected to be experts in all areas. Let PSBA’s Consulting Solutions help you meet these challenges with these services custom-tailored to fit your district’s needs.

PSBA’s Consulting Solutions are delivered by both current and former superintendents and school business administrators. The area of expertise of each consultant is carefully matched with the issue that needs to be addressed. These recognized experts have the skills and experience to assist school districts in matters of governance and operations.

Long-range planning and focused problem-solving facilitate day-to-day school district operations. Yet school board members, superintendents and business officials don’t always have the time or the in-house expertise to do it and do it right.

PSBA’s Consulting Solutions are available to help your district improve its fiscal management, organizational effectiveness, action planning, leadership transitions and other services tailored to fit your district’s specific needs – and to help carefully position your district for the future.

PSBA is committed to offering the highest level of service to assist local lay leadership in providing and promoting excellence in public education. Through a variety of programs and services, School Board & Management Services ensures best board practices and focuses on answering questions from board members and administrators about their school district’s human relations functions.
