It starts with ops.

School leaders and operations staff, this space is for you. 

If you know the pressure of dealing with multiple emergencies all at once, every day. If you feel exhausted, stressed, and overworked. If you are still in school well after the final bell to finish the projects you’ve had to put off time and time again because priorities keep coming up. Then you belong here.

Here, we collaborate with operations experts and peers to solve challenges we all are facing in our schools. We build and share the tools and templates that make your daily work more efficient and effective. We tend to the wellness of ourselves and our teams so that we can sustain the work that is demanded of us.

“You took care of us. You held us together during one of the toughest moments for our school.” - StartOps Member and School Leader
