What can I solve for you?

Drawing on my decades of experience in and full understanding of public education, I’m able to bring my knowledge of school operations and team-making ability to address a full spectrum of matters that affect school districts. They include a wide range of business issues, planning concerns, special education and school transportation needs, among many others—all of which ultimately advance our mission: to help students learn.

What's it like to work with me?

Creating strong relationships is my number one priority because they lay the foundation for success. I work hard at building and maintaining personal connections, which give others a sense of trust that I have their best interests at heart. Those efforts enable me to bring people together to collaborate effectively and reach common goals.

Overview

With four decades of experience in both the instructional and administrative arenas of public-school systems in four states, Suzanne O’Connell applies her deep knowledge to support clients’ business services departments and help them navigate a complex, multifaceted landscape of day-to-day operations.

Throughout her long career in the public schools, Suzanne has worn a variety of hats—including as teacher, principal, director, assistant superintendent ED services and deputy superintendent administrative services/CBO. In these roles she oversaw an array of key functions, including teaching and learning, special education, land acquisition, construction management and budgets, bonds and finance. Very few scenarios arise in the public education arena that Suzanne hasn’t previously encountered. School districts appreciate her full understanding of and rich background in curriculum and instruction, master facility planning, fiscal management, progress monitoring, and accountability audits.

Suzanne provides F3 clients with strategic and practical guidance as they grapple with many different issues, including property sales and purchases, new school openings, closures of established schools, transportation scheduling, food service contracting, and budgetary and financial complications. She also helps administrators communicate their messages effectively by assisting them in creating and delivering informative, engaging presentations.

A highly skilled and ethical professional, Suzanne contributes strong interpersonal, leadership and mentoring skills to every situation. She’s gratified to bolster F3’s mission of supporting the people and organizations who serve children by providing them with the best educational programs possible.

After School

I love to travel, take daily walks, watch sports, especially football, and read both fiction and nonfiction. It’s also a great pleasure for me to spend time with my six grandchildren.
