About Us
Dr. Larry Boese
If you are looking for support and assistance with improving your Title I, Part A and other ESSA programs or with preparing for and conducting a successful FPM review, I have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to provide you with excellent services. In the Spring of 2018, I started providing services as the principal consultant for Boese Consulting, including the following:
For several years before retiring in September 2017, I provided exemplary support to California local education agencies (LEAs), including school districts and county offices of education (COEs), selected for Federal Program Monitoring (FPM) reviews of their compensatory education (CE) Title I programs as an Education Programs Consultant with the California Department of Education (CDE).
As part of this work, I led the CDE Title I Monitoring and Support Office in providing day-long technical support (TA) and trainings at COEs in Title I, Part A in relation to FPM CE reviews, including at Imperial County Office of Education, Orange County Department of Education, Sacramento County Office of Education, and San Diego County Office of Education.
In addition, I co-presented CE Training sessions at annual LEA FPM Training in southern and northern California for five consecutive years, and I presented or co-presented the following workshop sessions at the last four California Title I Conferences hosted by the CDE:
- Offered a day-long ESSA Title I Part A and CE Instrument TA Workshop sponsored by the North County Professional Development Federation in San Marcos, California, which was attended by nearly 40 staff from LEAs in San Diego and Orange Counties scheduled for upcoming 2018-19 FPM reviews. This workshop focused on ESSA requirements and opportunities for Title I districts and schools in relation to FPM CE requirements and, according to session evaluations, significantly increased attendees' knowledge and understanding of Title I, Part A under ESSA.
- Provided effective FPM Success Pre-Review, Lead-Up to Review, and During Review services to a district in San Diego County with a 2017-18 FPM review of seven programs. With my assistance and support, the district was able to complete the FPM review with zero findings. (See the statement from the district's FPM Coordinator on my Testimonials page.)

Previously I worked in the CDE office that coordinated the work of California’s Statewide System of School Support (S4) for Title I LEAs and schools, which included WestEd as a comprehensive assistance center and Regional System of District and School Support (RSDSS) offices in California’s eleven COE regions.

Previous to my professional work at the CDE, I served as the institutional research professional at both Diablo Valley College and Sacramento City College.
I received my Doctorate Degree (Ph.D.) in Education from the University of California at Davis (UCD), for which I conducted dissertation research on the prevention of reading disabilities and the implications for general and special education policy and programs. I have taught several upper-division education courses for the UCD School of Education, which served as both general writing courses and as prerequisites to the School’s teacher credential program.
Currently, in addition to consulting, I am an adjunct professor for the University of the Pacific’s Sacramento Education Doctorate (Ed.D.) program, which includes teaching a dissertation-related graduate course on Quantitative Research Methods in Education and serving on a number of dissertation committees for students in the Ed.D. program.
