How would a father deal with an ex-spouse with multiple and repeated instances of not complying with the parenting plan?

We have documented 67 instances just over the past 2 months. Additionally, after being ordered not to, the mother pulled the children out of school during school hours and moved out of the school district without notifying the father or the Court. She met the father for transitions at the old, vacant residence on 2 occasions. Does the father need to file one set of papers for each charge?

No.  You can file a motion that encompasses all of the issues that you have here and the non compliance.  But I think that all of the non compliance needs to be the supporting evidence for one request for relief.  What is it that you want here is what the judge will want to know.  Is it that she just comply in the future or hold her in contempt or force her to put the kids back in school or for you to be the custodial parent and decision maker?  You have to know where you are going.  Good luck.
