School Management Reviews are offered to OFIS member schools by OFIS endorsed consultants and will help assess strengths and growth areas in Governance, Policy & Procedures Development, Human Resources, Financial Practices & Planning, Staff Evaluations and Operational Practices. This assessment is done via surveys, collection & assessment of school documents, on-site visitation and interviews. Receiving the final report and recommendations can help schools develop strategic plans and hit their growth targets more effectively and efficiently. Schools should consider such a review every 5 years and will receive OFIS certification for completion of the review and subsequent recommendations
