About SchoolOps

The SchoolOps team is committed to ensuring that every school and organization in the education world has access to high quality professional learning and support for its operations teams. SchoolOps has worked across multiple states to bring together communities of operations learners and provide them with national best practices, a resource library of tools and templates, and guided discussions to solve problems together. We believe that excellent operations are a core driver of student success, and that investing in operations teams builds strong foundations for sustainable schools.
