About K12CG
We don’t just design strategies. We deliver results.

Built on experience, integrity and relationships
Experience
Our team has planned, funded and managed school facilities work across California. We know how OPSC, DSA and boards actually operate.
Integrity
We work for the district, not contractors, not vendors. Our recommendations follow the data, even when the answer is “not yet.”
Relationships
Small, senior and responsive. The people you meet at kickoff are the people who see your projects through closeout.
