Founded in 2004, District Management Group (DMGroup) seeks to address the most important management challenges facing American public-school leaders. The leaders of our school systems are charged with the enormous responsibility of providing students with the resources to succeed in school and beyond. To achieve this, district and school leaders must not only be great educators, they must also be great managers.
District Management Group seeks to provide district leaders with the best management and educational practices, tools, and techniques to produce measurable, sustainable improvements that help schools and students thrive. Our unwavering focus is on solutions that improve student outcomes, while enhancing operational efficiency and resource allocation. It is in achieving these three objectives simultaneously that improvements in student outcomes and the public education system as a whole can be made sustainable.
District Management Group helps school district leaders combine the most effective educational best practices with proven management techniques to bring about measurable, sustainable improvements in student outcomes.

Leadership and management matter
