Ensure Efficient and Effective District Operations
Discover how effective your district operations are and identify opportunities to improve
School districts consistently have to do more with less to effectively meet the needs of every child. Operational effectiveness is key for districts to ensure they are stretching their resources and investing dollars where they will have the most impact.
Hanover offers a suite of solutions to help maximize your district operations. Our experts can help you identify inefficiencies, evaluate your strategic plan’s implementation, and ensure you are doing the most with your limited resources.
Understand where your district operations need to improve to keep up with the changing environment
Effectively put strategic goals into action
Your Hanover advisory team will partner with the school district’s operations leadership to develop a customized departmental action plan to ensure your team is executing the goals outlined in the district’s strategic plan efficiently and effectively.
Determine the effectiveness of your current operations
Our experts will conduct a quantitative analysis of key operational metrics to identify areas of improvement and measure changes over time.
Optimize your staffing and organizational structures
We will evaluate your district’s student academic programming, student support, technology access, transportation, security and safety, and communication to determine the effectiveness of district operations.
Help to meet your current needs with fewer resources
Our experts will compare your district’s organizational structure with peer and aspirant districts across the county to identify potential opportunities and ensure alignment with strategic priorities.
Identify inefficiencies in programs
Hanover will provide your leaders with survey data on perceptions of program participation.
Optimize school hours of operation
Hanover will analyze perceptions around current and proposed school start times and assess the impact of school start time changes on the district.
Building District Capacity for Equity Progress
“Having a partner like Hanover is really important. If I had to do all the research by myself, the quality would have suffered, and it would actually be antithetical to the work: Equity work is most successful when you bring in as many different viewpoints as possible. It’s helpful to have a strong research partner who can substantiate the work with data and best practices.”
— Megan Pohlman, Director of Equity
Douglas County School District Explores Stakeholder Perceptions of School Start Times
“DCSD wanted to assess how our current school start times are impacting our students’ sleep, readiness, mood, and emotional health. The insights from Hanover’s school start time study really impressed the Board; we have started to develop a strategic plan and the information provided from a global perspective is really helpful in the development of our strategic plan.”
– Matt Reynolds, Chief Assessment and Data Officer
