Operations Services

School Leaders often find themselves in a predicament. They enter the education industry because they have a passion for helping kids, but as they work their way into leadership, they find themselves running multi-million dollar public businesses. Yes, we know - you hate thinking of a school as a “business,” but schools ARE businesses. They have revenue and operating expenses, they employ staff, and they are required to operate within state, federal, and local laws.

Tatonka, as a corporate entity, has supported many different types of businesses over the past 30 years. Carol S. Hansen, CEO, and Eric Gorka, EVP, understand schools are extremely complex. Schools should be highly-transparent operations, balancing academic instruction, staffing, and other needed resources with financial strategy. None of this is taught in formal school leader programs.

TES is here to support those leaders who have the passion and vision for educating and supporting kids. Our operations services allow leaders to balance existing skills with external skills from TES to realize their goals.
