About Us

Built for Public Service

Modern EducateHR Network connects public sector organizations with independent HR specialists for trusted, practical guidance.

Our Story

Leaders Who Have Sat In Your Seat

Modern EducateHR is a network of experienced public sector leaders who have spent their careers guiding schools, supporting boards, and managing the people side of public organizations. Every one of our consultants has served as a superintendent.

Together, we have led districts through budget challenges, labor negotiations, leadership transitions, and difficult personnel matters. We know what it means to answer to a board, a community, and a staff all at once, because we have done it.

Why a Network

The Right Expertise, Together

Modern EducateHR began as a single consulting practice focused on superintendent searches and school human resources. As our work grew, we saw that the organizations we serve often need more than one kind of expertise.

The Modern EducateHR Network brings together four experienced consultants under one name, so clients can find the right expertise in one place. Each consultant brings a distinct background, from human resources and labor relations to school finance, school safety, and special education.

Who We Serve

Public Sector Partners

We partner with public sector organizations wherever they are, including school districts, charter schools, counties, cities, special districts, and public boards.
