Many central offices are structured for a different era of school operations. As responsibilities grow more complex and cross-functional, leadership teams often experience slow progress, duplicative work, unclear ownership, and decision-making bottlenecks.  

EAB’s Central Office Assessment helps districts identify where these breakdowns occur and establish the clarity needed for faster, more effective leadership.  

Through this assessment and guided sessions, your team will: 

  • Reduce duplicative work and clarify accountability 
  • Strengthen prioritization across the leadership team 
  • Make decisions faster with fewer meetings and committees 
  • Ensure senior leaders stay focused on the work only they can do 
  • Build continuity so initiatives don’t stall during leadership transitions 

The assessment is best suited for superintendents, deputy/assistant superintendents, and cabinet-level leaders.
