Who We Are

First State Educate Professional Services brings decades of experience in education leadership, policy, and governance to the work of strengthening school boards. Our team has led systems at every levelโ€”from classrooms to state agenciesโ€”and understands the real-world challenges boards face in making decisions that affect students and communities.

We are trusted partners to school boards, district leaders, and community advocates, equipping them with research-based training, practical tools, and strategic guidance. Rooted in Delaware but serving clients nationwide, we help boards navigate complex governance issues with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

Our belief is simple: when boards govern well, students thrive. Thatโ€™s why we focus on building the knowledge, skills, and alignment leaders need to drive meaningful and lasting improvement in public education.

Why We Exist

Delawareโ€™s public education system is full of potential. We exist to ensure that every school board member, parent advocate, and community leader has access to practical, actionable training and resources to lead with clarity and accountability.

Through our Knowledge Hub, custom board training, and leadership coaching, we are building a pipeline of effective leaders ready to drive the systemic change Delawareโ€™s students deserve.
