What schools say about us!
"In July of 2014, I assumed the responsibilities as the new superintendent of The School Town of Munster. As part of my transition into the new position, I wanted to have a thorough analysis completed of my general fund. For the third time in my professional career as a superintendent, I reached out to Steve Wittenauer and Gib Crimmins from Administrator Assistance for help. To my surprise, they sent two of the top retired superintendents in the State of Indiana to do the analysis, Dr. Ed Eiler and Dr. Bruce Stahley. Their analysis was impressive and on target. I am currently using their recommendations to lead my school system.
"We at Taylor Community School Corporation recently employed Administrator Assistance to help with our recent superintendent search. Given the new legislative requirements and the time demands of this search, their help was invaluable. Diana Showalter led us through the entire process and did an excellent job. She posted the opening on various state-wide sites, collected the applications, coordinated the interview schedule and facilitated all communication with the candidates. She was instrumental in the success of our search process and our ultimate superintendent hire. I would highly recommend Administrator Assistance for your next superintendent search.
"I called Administrative Services to find someone to facilitate our goal setting process with the school board. Ed Eiler was assigned to us. I did not know Ed before this, but I was very pleased with the services he gave us. Ed called me right away to discuss what I wanted out of the process. He spent hours researching our corporation on the web site. He read through the materials I sent him included a long list of data collected from focus groups we had conducted. Ed met with me at 1:30 the day of the board meeting. He had designed specific questions about our financial situation, our initiatives on teaching and learning, and on facilities. Before he arrived he drove around the community looking at all of the schools. To say the very least, Ed was prepared for the board meeting.
"Dr. Eiler's ability to pose thoughtful and deep questions to the group that allowed them to really ponder the issue and see a different side of it. He additionally was able to provide some examples of other school's course offerings which had them thinking about how we stack up and what we can do better. I appreciated that he was able to lead the board in considering larger issues that they need to be concerned with, instead of fixating on one smaller issue-they needed to be reframed and he did just that.
Professional attitude and friendliness which was readily accepted by the staff.
The communication between Steve W. and the board in establishing an interim arrangement was excellent. The services of A.A. were very well explained. The guidance and help with knowing the correct way to manage getting rid of current supt. and bringing in interim was excellent. The expertise and professionalism of the interim supt. has been worth every cent and more! The services of A.A. truly saved our district from disaster.
