by company president Linda Wurzbach in March 1998. RFL offers<br />

comprehensive services aligned with its mission of promoting learner<br />

success by building the capacities of educational organizations. To<br />

accomplish this mission, RFL applies to all projects its core values of<br />

collaboration, diversity, equity, flexibility, innovation, integrity, and<br />

quality.<br />

RFL provides a multi-faceted approach to projects and offers a wide<br />

range of services, including project management; professional<br />

RFL staff members bring deep knowledge of pre-K–12 school systems<br />
