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 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.

  2. Team Perspectives Survey: A cabinet-level survey identifies which areas are pain points for the leadership team
  3. Results and Prioritization Consult: Teams craft a plan with expert support to strengthen 1-2 priorities in the year ahead
