Boston, MA, June 20, 2012 – Public Consulting Group (PCG) today announced that it has acquired Focus On Results (FOR), a provider of K-12 instruction and learning consulting services based in Boston, Massachusetts and Huntington Beach, California. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. FOR will join the PCG Education division of PCG.
“With Focus on Results, we’ve once again found a great opportunity to expand our education consulting capabilities,” said Grant Blair, Director, PCG Education. “FOR has particular expertise in school turnaround consulting and will also allow us to enhance school leadership development opportunities for our many client schools and districts.”

FOR consultants use a customized approach that identifies each district’s needs as well as methods and practices that work best for each school and district environment.
“We are excited to be joining the PCG family and look forward to introducing the firm’s education clients to our practical and common sense techniques for helping adults build better schools and stronger school districts that work to improve the lives of all students,” said Jan Leight, President of Focus On Results.
