Please help us welcome Mrs. Margaret Schearer, HASD's new Director of Transportation & Child Accounting! Mrs. Schearer comes to us with nearly twenty years of experience coordinating transportation in public schools.

Mr. Bertschy has elected to return to our IT department, where he can draw from his vast professional knowledge and experience. Mr. Bertschy has done a great job as Director of Transportation for the past two years and we know he will be an asset in returning to our IT department!

Congratulations to both, and welcome to the team Maggie!
