About

Valgar LLC is an education-focused company operating across publishing, consulting, and digital media, founded and led by Luis R. Valentino, Ed.D. The company was established to translate more than three decades of public education leadership experience into practical tools, publications, and resources for today's educational leaders and edupreneurs.

Dr. Valentino brings 35 years of experience in K-12 education to Valgar LLC's work, including leadership appointments in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Coachella CA, Portland, OR, and Albuquerque, NM. He also spent 12 years on the faculty at UCLA  and Cal State.

Valgar LLC's core offerings include the Educational Leadership newsletter, a weekly publication reaching more than 43,600 subscribers across multiple platforms, and software products: The Briefing Room, a decision-support application for institutional education leaders, Talk and Jot, a web and mobile notetaking application, available on the Apple App Store, and Edubridge.pro, an online education and edupreneur community.. The company also maintains an active publishing division.

The company's mission centers on three principles: scholarship, leadership, and agency. Valgar LLC applies these principles across its content, products, and partnerships, with the goal of equipping educational leaders with rigorous, field-tested guidance rather than generic commentary.
