"MGT concluded their study with a total of 83 recommendations, 32 of which have potential fiscal implications. With the present financial climate of the entire country, this study will be invaluable to the district as we face a looming budget crisis. In total , the district is looking at a potential savings of $53,855,705 over the next five years."
Dr. James A. Williams
, Superintendent, Buffalo Public Schools
"The very clear and understandable recommendations that were delivered have promised us savings that, even in the first year, should be well in excess of the cost of the fee. They also made suggestions on how to restructure program operations is a way that would allow us to function more efficiently and effectively throughout the departments being studied. We implemented many of their recommendations even before the final report was completed, and have others in the works for implementation during the coming school year."

"The MGT review team was knowledgeable, professional, thorough and respectful of our staff members' time and responsibilities. The review resulted in more than 75 recommendations to increase efficiency with anticipated annual savings of over $4.5m. In addition, the review yielded dozens of best practice commendations that allowed the school division to share with the community the many areas of excellence already incorporated in Chesterfield Schools' policy and practice. With the difficult and uncertain economic climate that is affecting all school divisions, the expertise provided by MGT of America is an invaluable tool as we strive to continue to provide the highest quality education for children."

"It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation of MGT of America. They recently did an audit of the system of twenty Education Service Centers in Texas. Each of the twenty service centers had an MGT team come to the Center and evaluate the workings of the Center. Each Center was given an individual report, and a global report was generated for the entire system of service centers.
I was impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, thoroughness, and the cordial manner in which my staff and I were treated by the MGT team. I found their reports to be fair and professionally done. If my Service Center had to go through another audit of this type, I would hope MGT would be selected to do it.
Again, without reservation, I recommend MGT of America for any of your audit needs."
Ronnie Kincaid
, Executive Director, Education Service Center Region XIV, TX
