Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected Jul 1, 2026

The Superintendent’s 2026-27 budget includes $106,100 for a "Strategic Planning Consultant" and $100,000 for "Admin Planning Sessions," alongside $328,600 for leadership conference fees and travel. Combined with strong reserves and multi-year growth, this indicates a deliberate investment in external strategic planning support and leadership development for Sage Oak’s executive team as it scales. While the line suggests an intent to hire or continue with a consultant, no specific firm is named in the budget.Strategy and organizational development consultancies with experience in virtual/independent-study charters can propose services around multi-year academic and operational planning, growth management, governance, and change management. A timely outreach would ask about the scope and timeline they envision for strategic planning in 2026-27 and how a partner could help translate their financial projections into prioritized initiatives.

Funding for BoardOnTrack and extensive leadership travel suggests a governance and leadership capacity-building focus alongside strategy work.
