School Operations Manager (26-27)

About the role

Every member of the Team & Family at KIPP Texas Public Schools plays a critical role in ensuring our students have the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose - college, career and beyond. Our educators are passionate advocates for their students and their families, working tirelessly to ensure that our students have access to opportunity. In our classrooms and across the KIPP family we embrace, honor and celebrate our differences across several characteristics that construct our unique identities in our little and big KIPPsters. We are especially committed to attracting and developing individuals who share the life experiences of our students because we believe the best work we do is grounded in the realities and experiences of our families and KIPPsters. The School Operations Team is focused on creating the conditions by which our schools can thrive by successfully driving attendance, enrollment, and school wide systems; leading safety and crisis management; and providing exemplary customer service for students, families and staff members.
