“Our classified employees are the backbone of this amazing district,” said Superintendent Mike Kuhlman. “They are here before most of us and remain long after most have gone home for the evening. They keep us safe, maintain clean and orderly facilities, serve our students what they need to succeed, and transport them where they need to go. They are an instrumental part of our plan to prepare every child to be ‘opportunity ready.’ We are proud to recognize these important members of the Hart District family.”
