Turnaround Blueprint™: A Field Manual for Leading System-Level School Improvement

Available now on Amazon and hand-to-hand at select events.

Turnaround Blueprint™ is a practical leadership guide for superintendents, principals, cabinet leaders, and school turnaround teams who are serious about moving from compliance to capacity, from survival to systems, and from isolated effort to sustainable academic growth.

Most turnaround books are written by people who studied turnarounds. This one is written by a sitting CEO-Superintendent who led a state-monitored district out of Academic Distress in real time. It lays out a complete operating system — governance, structure, accountability, culture, brand, and AI-supported systems — for moving any struggling organization from broken to functional to excellent. Direct, tactical, and built for leaders who have to deliver results under pressure.

With a foreword by Dr. Michael Hinojosa, Council of the Great City Schools.

Written by Dr. Henry Pettiegrew II, featured on CNN's United Shades of America.
