Board governance · Two leadership engagements · Rolling basis
Boards don't change districts. Whole Health proposals do.
Change is a press release. A proposal is a record — seconded, voted, minuted, and enforceable. Allan for All is hiring two short-term leadership consultants to carry the Whole Health standard through eight weeks of DPSCD governance work, and to leave behind a system that keeps measuring after the campaign ends.

Rolling Hire · Paid 8-Week Engagement
Pitch for Chief Content EditorCompensation
- Competitive paid eight-week consulting engagement, hired on a rolling basis.
- Base retainer plus potential completion incentive and compensation for specifically approved additional work.
- Combined campaign budget: up to $6,000 across both leadership engagements.
See the protected engagement brief for the complete compensation structure.
Payment control
- No consultant may independently trigger additional compensation.
- Additional work must be specifically requested and described in writing.
- Approval happens before work begins, with an approved amount or hourly ceiling.
- Every approval is recorded in the campaign's expenditure-management system.
- No retroactive pay for work that was never approved; exceeding estimated weekly hours does not increase compensation.
- Any combined consultant compensation above $6,000 requires a written amendment and campaign authorization.

Pitch
Two minutes of video on how you would approach the work. That is the application.
The work
Serious communication, not content volume.
- Shape a serious, credible LinkedIn presence for a DPSCD Board candidate.
- Turn education policy into accessible writing that respects the reader.
- Build a narrative arc across eight weeks rather than disconnected posts.
- Engage professional and civic audiences with judgment, not volume.
Weekly cadence
Weeks 1–3
~2–4 hrs/week
Learn the voice. One major post per week.
Weeks 4–6
~4–6 hrs/week
Two posts per week. Recurring issue threads.
Weeks 7–8
~6–10 hrs/week
Higher frequency, rapid turnaround, closing narrative.
Compliance, stated up front
A campaign engagement with clean boundaries.
- Campaign-controlled accounts and privately funded resources only.
- No DPSCD email, devices, software, phones, vehicles, stationery, or work time.
- Spending authority is NONE by default; every expenditure needs written treasurer approval.
- Paid consulting work is recorded separately from any uncompensated volunteer activity.
- Internal strategy and unpublished drafts stay confidential.
