During the industrial boom of the early 20th century, America needed millions of factory workers to meet a rapidly growing demand for automobiles and other modern inventions. That long-ago era produced the model still being used for our current school systems. However, this antiquated design no longer suits the needs of today’s fast-paced, information technology-driven economy. 

Now, more than ever before, America’s schools are being held to higher standards to provide rigorous learning opportunities for all children, regardless of family background and personal circumstances. Today’s job market requires it. The future of our country depends on it. 

The Center for Reform of School Systems can help your district – through better governance – meet these new challenges.  We are an independent, not-for-profit Texas corporation that works to support school districts and community leaders who want to become more effective school reformers.  

Since 2001, CRSS has trained leaders from more than 100 school districts – including many of America’s largest– to employ strategies, processes, and tools to make significant improvements in their school systems.

Based on the proven principles of Reform Governance^® developed by school board veteran Don McAdams and described in his book What School Boards Can Do, our dynamic training and consulting program will help your school district meet the education challenges of the 21st century.  It will also help improve the relationships among your board members, superintendent, and community leaders, while increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of board governance. 

The mission of the Center for Reform of School Systems is to teach board-superintendent teams how to transform their districts for high student achievement – because every community deserves a great school district.
