School District Consulting

Does your school district face a budget shortfall that makes it necessary to appeal to the taxpayers for more money? Are you spending more and more time in focus groups that emphasize funds rather than education? Will the decisions you make today really help the ‘big picture’ or is it a means to delay the real issue at hand? Statewide funding is diminishing, and  there is a way to solve a problem without throwing money at it. TechRx Inc. is the solution and here is the answer.

I want to take a moment to address what I feel is the failure the majority of school districts face today. My observations are not unique to school districts, they hold true for many organizations, businesses, and individuals. The issue at hand is that local business and individuals are not able to obtain funds from the taxpayers or seek out extraordinary methods of finance.

A recent article I received in the mail showed a local district had computers that were old and failure to upgrade these computers would result in detrimental effects to learning. I found this statement paradoxical in nature because schools [in general (college, secondary, etc.)] direct individuals to use critical thinking skills to problem solve. One key point to understand is that waiting for a problem to become an issue is the opposite of a solution. Instead, an adverse reaction is the result of the failure to think ahead. 

 The interesting fact is that school districts fail to demonstrate bid proposals. When the referendum states I should approve a list of more than “xyz million”, I would like to see why. The obvious thought that comes to mind is truth in services. This method of thinking asks the question, “Is what my vendor charging fair, or is it simply acceptable because this is how it’s always been.”

The reason TechRx exists is to help owners, executives, and administrators dig deeper into large budget issues. Why replace a computer when a five-dollar keyboard will fix the issue? Technology aside, what I do is more than lower costs; I am a catalyst for change. My fee is based upon how much I am able to save a business or district. 

I hope you will take a moment to review the numerous blog articles on this site and other consulting pages.  If you want to embrace change and realize the alternatives to tax payer funding give me a call at 920.884.1195.

The education system teaches us to use the knowledge we develop to evaulate all  situations in an objective manner. When we do not look at the big picture, we loose the ability to change.
