SitelogIQ has partnered with FEMA grant writing experts with experience in the recent Hurricanes in Puerto Rico dating back to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to assist school districts in the cost capturing and funding. Dr. Pritzl has presented several times to multiple districts regarding the protocols of returning to school in the following areas: transportation, testing, social gathering areas, classroom distancing, lunchroom, recess, and athletic events.

Mike Kozlowski, AIA SitelogIQ’s Director of Program Management, is a licensed Architect, LEED AP and a Professional Project Manager, who has 25 years of experience designing, master planning and managing complex K-12 and commercial construction projects and programs. In addition to direct design and construction experience Mike has managed the process of securing over $100m of state funding for school projects through the California Office of Public School Construction (OPSC). These projects each required careful planning, construction document preparation and the securing approval for construction through the California Department of Education (CDE), the CA Office of General Services Division of the State Architect (DSA) as well as local fire department approvals.

Mike has managed projects for national retailers, Oil companies and the largest school districts in the U.S. Mike successfully managed these large projects and programs that each required the most complex community, local agency, state and federal approval processes and multi-source funding strategies and some where these were all needed.

Mike has been deeply involved in his own community as the chair of a local school facilities bond measure election committee, as well as serving as an elected City Councilman. These experiences all add to his personal connection, perspective and wide ranging skills that are required to guide a school district through the complex process of developing a master plan. Successful Master plans, to truly serve the district’s community, will result in improved educational outcomes, reduce operating costs, and protect the safety, health and well being of staff and students. None of that can happen with out carefully balancing the need to gain voters direct support through a ballot initiative. Mike is as experienced as anyone in balancing these goals and achieving success in each area.
