Administrator's Resource Guide
Dear Partner in the Gospel:
As Paul stated in his greeting to the Philippian church, I too thank our God when I remember you. I am passionate about our schools becoming places of excellence to bring more and more children and their families into our schools so that they may come to know this great God which we serve. As Administrators serving in our schools, it is my desire to effectively resource and equip you with resources to help you fulfill the Great Commission.
As a tool to help each of you in that endeavor we have compiled many resources and administrative tools in this area of our website. I hope you will take time to become familiar, as time allows, with the information linked to this page, as I believe there are many extremely helpful and valuable items here.
I also want to take this opportunity to offer you my help and assistance at any time. I am available to visit with you, your staff, and your board or leadership teams at your school. I also love to come and lead chapel at your school! My number is 949-854-3232, ext. 223, and my email address is rachel.klitzing@psd-lcms.org.
God bless and guide you, and give you much joy in your leadership!
Connected in Christ, in His service,
Rachel Klitzing
Executive Director of School Ministries

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3-6

Consultancy Session Protocol
As a resource for our schools and leaders in the Pacific Southwest District, we will use a protocol employed by a variety of organizations, perhaps most notably the Young President’s Organization (YPO). The objective of these sessions is to provide a forum for each principal to receive counsel on a key strategic question facing his or her school. The protocol is as follows: the Principal/Executive leader provides the group with a brief and focused description of the challenge; then, the leader answers clarifying questions from the group before remaining silent while the group consults, offering potential solutions to the challenge. At the end of the session, the leader should walk away with new perspectives on the challenge, as well as a new set of peers to reach out to in the future, resources to draw upon, and actions steps to implement at his or her own school.
We invite you, as a school leader, to utilize this resource whenever you need to draw upon the expertise of other leaders. Please email or call Rachel Klitzing if you need more information.
