His focus is to ensure that the technology assets support the educational efforts of the district and provides the students with a technology-rich environment that will prepare them for the future.

Upon the tragic death of the superintendent in December 1997, Dr. Stutzman provided the leadership to ensure that the district was not only able to continue with its basic operations but was able to pursue its goals in curriculum and technology development and implementation until an interim superintendent could be named.

As the instructional leader for the school, he maintained a visible profile and used the principles of Clinical Supervision to ensure that effective teaching practices were incorporated with lesson preparation and presentation. Concern for students who are not achieving in the classroom but do not qualify for any special education program provided the impetus for his establishment of an "at-risk" tutoring program for these students. Based upon the premise that society has entered into an information age with a need to effectively manage data, Dr. Stutzman proposed and initiated a plan to automate the elementary school with networked computers, utilizing the school's media center as the core of the system and a computer laboratory for specific, whole-group instruction.
