What Our Partners Say

"There isn’t a board meeting that goes by where we aren’t talking about how we are addressing our strategic plan. We are always referring back to our strategic plan. DMGroup’s approach helped us craft a strategic plan that drives our district work."
Dr. Brian Maher
Former Superintendent
Sioux Falls School District (SD) -
“The challenge of turnaround is that a multitude of leadership and management issues must be tackled but taking these on all at once can be overwhelming. DMGroup provided tremendous support and was an important partner.”
Dr. Lawrence Moussoline
Former Superintendent
Downingtown Area School District (PA) -
“We contracted DMGroup to help us with some elementary scheduling. Previously, we used an Excel file to schedule, so finally we now have a very robust program for our elementary schools and our ten elementary principals love it.”
