DECISION-READY

What's Happening in Your District?

Every district's situation is different. Tell us where you are, and we'll show you exactly how we can help — and what to do next.

“We have a leadership vacancy.”

A superintendent or key administrator has departed — or will soon. You need experienced leadership in place now to keep the district stable.

“We need an evaluation or board support.”

Your board needs a proven superintendent evaluation instrument, governance support, or a neutral, experienced partner.

“Our operations need strengthening.”

Business office, finance, HR, transportation — need an experienced hand to assess, stabilize, and improve.

“We're planning for the future.”

Strategic plan, referendum, or building a roadmap for growth with seasoned guidance.

THE NETWORK

Led by People Who Have Sat in Your Chair

Administrator Assistance was founded to give Indiana school corporations direct access to experienced, recently retired school leaders who know how to run a district because they’ve done it themselves.

Our network includes former superintendents, business managers, curriculum directors, principals, and operations leaders from across Indiana. When your district faces a transition, we connect you with the right person — someone who can step in immediately.

✓ Recently retired Indiana school leaders — current on issues, law, and realities

✓ Matched to your specific need, not one-size-fits-all

✓ Trusted by boards and superintendents because we’ve been in those roles

The Hamilton Southeastern Board of Schools Trustees engaged Administrator Assistance LLC in the fall of 2023 to lead our search for a superintendent for our district. Steve Wittenauer and his team were highly professional and provided a solid, unbiased search.

They worked with us to understand the needs of our district, engaged key community stakeholders, provided internal administrative support for central office leaders, and extended solid counsel to the board throughout. We are thrilled with the outcome, culminating in a 7-0 board vote in support of our new superintendent.

Working with Administrator Assistance to identify our new superintendent was a very positive experience. Dawn Puckett and Betsy Biederstedt were key in identifying qualified candidates and kept our process moving along efficiently.

They understood the needs of our district and were invaluable in helping us navigate what could have been a long and complicated task. I am grateful for Administrator Assistance's expertise.

They were accommodating and pleasant to work with, and all board members finished the process with a positive feeling.

HOW WE HELP

There's Really No One Else Like Us in Indiana

Most districts have two poor options: rush a permanent hire, or bring in consultants who don’t understand Indiana schools. We're the third option.
