Due Diligence for Education Executives

Due Diligence for Education ExecutivesWith a former School Board President as our CEO, Baker-Eubanks understands the importance to the community of a smooth, timely, and successful executive placement.

For 15 years, we have worked directly with school boards, superintendents and administrators, and with their search firms or State School Boards Associations, to manage risk when selecting their district’s next leader.

Over 550 school districts nationwide have relied on Baker-Eubanks comprehensive Due Diligence Reports in their selection of:

  • Superintendents
  • Administrators
  • Principals

We work with districts directly, or through their executive search firms. The following search clients rely upon our due diligence services:

  • Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates
  • North Carolina School Board Association
  • Heidrick & Struggles

Bill Attea“It is important to have confidence in the firm that is verifying the lack of significant issues in these candidates’ histories (and to) have the service done in a professional, personal and cost-effective manner. We have been very pleased with the services that Baker-Eubanks has provided.”

Our team supports clients throughout the due diligence process, helping them:

  • Comply with federal and state laws
  • Protect against oversights left by minimal state-mandated procedures.
  • Understand outcomes and circumstances of any “red flag” information found
  • Provide timely evidence of thorough screening
  • Reduce the risk of being caught unaware

National news stories continue to highlight the consequences of using typical background checks at the senior level; Baker-Eubanks offers a different approach.

In 15 years of serving school districts, we have not experienced one report of relevant information being missed.

Baker-Eubanks’ Superintendent, Administrator and Principal Due Diligence Reports include the findings of thorough on-site courthouse research and investigation of key non-criminal risk assessment areas. Findings are presented along with our analysis in a comprehensive and easy to read Due Diligence Report. Read more about our process.

Jill Gildea“I would very much recommend the Baker-Eubanks Due Diligence reporting service to my colleagues as the additional level of detail provides reassurance and confidence in the hiring process.”
