operations of our school sites and Home Office. The DOT will build
capacity through planning, managing, and executing cross-functional
special projects, facilitating effective meetings and professional
development, and ensuring effective and efficient communication
across the organization.
As a member of the Strategic Services team, the DOT serves as a

compliance) initiatives as we strive towards running the best
schools in the country.
