Bill Spruce has worked in K-12 education since 1997.  As a partner in The North Broward Preparatory School in Florida, Bill was part of a small group of dedicated educators and business people who grew the small K-8 prep school from 300 students to more than 1,500 students in seven years.  Responsible for the day-to-day operations of the school, Bill oversaw the land acquisition, design and construction of a new 70-acre campus.  In 2005, North Broward became part of the Meritas Family of Schools formed by Sterling Partners, and Bill joined as Senior Vice President of Real Estate and Development.   Meritas grew to ten schools in four countries with more than 11,000 students.

In 2013, Bill left Meritas and started his own consulting firm, JABRY Consulting, to help schools and school groups develop and implement their growth and expansion plans.  Starting his career as an attorney, Bill is a member of the Florida Bar.  Prior to North Broward and Meritas, Bill worked as an attorney for Transportation Financial Group (TFG), a holding company of transportation and insurance companies, where he then served as a member of the Board of Directors.  He earned his B.A. in Politics and History from Curry College and his J.D. from The Thomas M.
