    Why TNT

    More Than Compliance. Built for Leadership Teams.

    TNT facilitators are former district leaders who know what strong board-superintendent teams look like and how to help yours get there.

    Built Around Your Team, not a template

    Every session is designed around your district's dynamics and priorities. Not a generic curriculum. Your board, your superintendent, your work.

    Facilitators who have sat in your chair

    TNT facilitators have served as superintendents and district leaders. They understand board-superintendent dynamics from the inside, not from a training manual.

    You leave with agreed priorities, not just a certificate

    Strategic Prioritization is built into every TNT session. The board and superintendent walk out aligned on what matters most and what comes next.

    One flat fee. No surprises.

    $3,500 covers everything. Travel, materials, and state compliance certificates are all included.

    When to Schedule

    Three reasons to get this on the calendar now.

    01

    After a Board Election

    Ideally within 60 days of a May or November school board election. Even one change on the team shifts the dynamic.

    Summer fills fast. Get it on the calendar.

    02

    New Superintendent

    Within 30 days of a new superintendent reporting. A new leader changes the dynamic of the team.

    Align early before the first hard decisions.

    03

    Annual Requirement

    Texas law requires the board and superintendent to complete Team of 8 training every year.

    Schedule it. Use it.

    I am wondering about...

    How soon our actions will back up our words.
