Who we are
KLR Partners works with leaders to achieve their big picture ideals. Through grant writing guidance, virtual assistant principal support, and school start-up assistance, KLR Partners helps you make the seemingly impossible, possible. The everyday job of a school leader and a teacher can be so overwhelming that going after grants, writing policies, implementing programs, and developing a school of your own can seem impossible.
With the right partner, anything is possible. Katy lives to support school leaders and teachers who are doing the honorable work of educating tomorrow’s future, our children. The dreams and goals of a school inspire Katy to write winning grant awards, to develop programming and policies, and to convey a founder’s dream for a new school. Partner with KLR Partners, and your maybe-one-day ideas will turn into life-changing reality for students and their families.
"With the right partner, anything is possible."
