• Collaborate with the Director of Operations on ensuring compliance with Title 1 and all district, state, and federal regulations, including building maintenance, data management, accreditation standards, and district surveys
• Serve on the school’s Attendance Team, identifying at‑risk students, and executing Attendance Intervention Plans
• Ensure the accuracy and timely submission of all state, federal, and district reports, as applicable
• Meet all compliance benchmarks with precision and timeliness, reflecting a deep commitment to excellence and accountability

Operations:

• Support other initiatives of the school Operations team as needed.
• Act as a liaison between the school, district student data personnel (where applicable), and the MSS Network team

• A commitment to the mission and core values of Meeting Street Schools and an unwavering belief that all students can and will succeed
• Strong project management skills with the ability to prioritize tasks and balance competing deadlines
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with team members, school leaders, and student families
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work independently in a fast‑paced environment
