Dr. Jim Sutfin has been the superintendent of Millard Public Schools since - 2014. During his time, he has moved Millard to a one-to-one school district with a laptop or iPad for every student. At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, Millard was already one-to-one from third through fifth grades. The district quickly stepped up in the spring of 2021 to provide a device for all children, preschool through 12th grades to provide remote learning during the pandemic closure in spring 2020. By fall 2020 the district was able to reopen both in person and remotely for all students, operating continuously throughout the school year. 

Additional initiatives under Dr. Sutfin’s watch include the #BeKind community movement and #TeachUp campaigns, bringing the first Boys and Girls Club to Millard.
