ILO Group

Education policy consulting for K-12 systems

Overview

ILO Group is a women-owned education strategy and policy firm that helps K-12 systems design and implement policies and programs to meet student needs and improve outcomes. They work side-by-side with district and school leaders, combining policy analysis, strategic planning, program design, and implementation support to deliver practical solutions. They differentiate themselves through direct partnership with education leaders, decades of field experience, and a practitioner-focused approach rather than purely theoretical consulting. Their goal is to accelerate student outcomes and reimagine the education system so all students have the opportunity to succeed.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • AiLO provides licensed, locally adaptable content helping leaders scale training and sustain progress across K-12 systems since 2021.
  • ILO Group partners with NewSchools Venture Fund, reinforcing venture-backed credibility while supporting districts executing high-priority education bets.
  • The firm facilitates the Urban Superintendents’ Leadership Academy, a cross-district collaboration model for system leaders highlighted in 2024-2025.

What critics are saying

  • Direct displacement by larger TEA consultants securing exclusive K-12 policy contracts due to ILO's 19-person capacity limit within 12-18 months.
  • Revenue collapse from AiLO failure to meet federal AI-in-education procurement standards after regulatory gaps exposed by CEO testimony in 2026.
  • Existential knock-out risk from losing 'women-owned' certification due to internal leadership turnover violating ILO's 2021 founding mandate within 24-36 months.

What makes ILO Group unique

  • ILO Group launched AiLO, its dedicated AI division, guiding K-12 leaders on responsible AI scaling as of 2024-2025.
  • The firm launched Women Leading Ed, a national network advancing women and women of color in education leadership via research.
  • CEO Dr. Julia Rafal-Baer testified to the House Education subcommittee, amplifying ILO Group's policy influence in K-12 education.
