=Welcome to the New Wiki which I have labeled "Funding Lutheran K-12 Education"!=

==It will be a collaborative effort to develop an instrument and/or a process that will help Lutheran Elementary Schools and Lutheran Secondary Schools identify key components for fiscal viability. The goal is to get at what David Sommermeyer calls "Margin for Ministry." In an earlier e-mail I shared my perspective that certainly "without a vision the people perish" but it is also ever more evident that "without adequate funding the vision will perish."== This Wiki site should enable each of us to give input as we work together to develop a medical type model to assess the fiscal health of our Lutheran Elementary and Lutheran Secondary Schools; develop intervention or treatment strategies to return to fiscal health once deteriorating or life threatening fiscal conditions are identified; and identify variables of a healthy fiscal lifestyle to maintain and strengthen the organization's ministry and vision for the future.

My first effort will be to get this site up and running and to add all of you to the site as new members. Please respond if you were able to get into the site and could start "playing around with it."
