2016 Endorsements

During the 2015 – 2016 school year, Agawam Public  Schools sought the services and expertise of Consulting Partners, Inc.,  (CPI) in order to conduct a Management and Organizational Assessment of  our Central Office/Business department, Special Education department,  and Instructional Technology department.  This assessment consisted of a  review of documents, data, meetings, and discussions with  administrators and support staff.  CPI initially began its work in  December 2015 and continued throughout January, February, and into early  March of 2016.
 

After an extensive review of business office financial documents,  interviews were conducted with nearly 30 administrators and staff  members by CPI associates who had been assigned to this project.  During  all of these interviews, CPI associates were thorough, professional,  and sensitive to the need for confidentiality.  Moreover, they scheduled  those interviews in the least disruptive manner for the operation of  the district.
 

The results of this extensive assessment project have resulted in  significant and appropriate adjustments to our management procedures,  which have enhanced the overall operation of our offices and  departments.  Frank Colvario is to be commended for his guidance and  diligence to detail that have resulted in so many positive changes now  taking place within our district.  Our experience with CPI Inc., was so  much more than we initially expected.

In the spring of 2016, Frank and several associates from CPI completed  an in-depth assessment of our business office and financial processes of  our collaborative.  The work was completed in a timely manner during a  very busy time of the school and fiscal year.
 

The CPI report offered me (as executive director) and staff  opportunities for significant review and discussion.  The completed  project provided much of what we both wanted and needed.

In FY13, I had consulted with CPI to provide an important program review  of my business department. That was so successful that during FYl 7, I  again asked CPI to return to Maynard to conduct a job  search for a  business  manager.
 

Hiring a business manager in Massachusetts is challenging. The DESE  certification requirement has significantly reduced the available  candidates making it harder to find good candidates. As we went through  the process, Franks insights instilled a sense of confidence in the  process.
 

Each time I have worked with Frank Colvario, he has brought with him  associates from the field to assist us on our projects. Frank and his  associates have a great perspective and are very helpful. They take care  of everything including the technical and financial knowledge required  to make a sound decision. I have been a superintendent of schools in two  states over the last 11 years. Every time I work with Frank, I learn  something new in my field of expertise. He has great experiences and  wisdom to draw upon.
 

Even though Maynard is a relatively small district, hiring the right  staff in such an important position is a very important task. As small  as Maynard is, Frank was always responsive and professional  in his  efforts to serve our  community.
 

I highly recommend CPI to conduct any program evaluation or job search. Please call ifI can be of further assistance.

I was introduced to Frank Colvario in 2004 when Consulting Partners,  Inc.(CPI) was contracted by Ashburnham Westminster Regional School  District to perform a food service program review.  The report was on  point, and recommendations were well received and implemented by the  school committee.  Consulting Partners was subsequently hired to help  develop an administrative process and procedure manual as well as  consult on both community outreach strategy and surveying for potential  operational override.
 

The thoroughness of the data collection, the collaboration between the  school district and CPI in identifying areas of concern, the timely  delivery of the final product and the professional integrity of Mr.  Colvario and his team were impressive.  In 2011, I enthusiastically  accepted a position as an associate consultant with CPI.  The  assignments have been as diverse as the school communities requesting  consulting services.  The associates who work for CPI provide a depth of  knowledge and experience that make each assignment unique.
 

The assignments in which I have participated suggest CPI’s scope as well as a variety of school serviced:
 

1. GLEC, currently CREST, 2. Spencer-East Brookfield RSD,

3. Maynard Public Schools, 4. Agawam Public Schools,

5. Cape Cod Collaborative, 6. Lynn Public Schools

7. Bourne Public Schools, 8. Northeast Metro Regional Voc Tech

I have worked with CPI from both perspectives, as a client and as an  associate.  I am confident in recommending Frank Colvario and Consulting  Partners, Inc. for any school’s operational review assignments you may  be considering.
