After seeing everything Kenneth Surma does for his district, it might no longer be called a “Jack” of all trades, but a Ken.

Ken is always ready to use his skills to make processes and procedures more efficient, to improve productivity. He put his Skyward skills to work by implementing attachments for POS, invoicing, credit card receipts, vendor W-9s, and a lot more. He has essentially made paper a thing of the past for his district!

As Ken works to improve work processes, he also takes charge of trainings with district staff. Training includes handouts, presentations, hands on experience and his one of kind sense of humor, which all goes to show how hands-on he is, and how much he enjoys sharing his Skyward knowledge.

Another project Ken spearheaded? Transitioning his district from SMS 2.0 to Qmlativ. He worked with his department as well as human resources to develop a conversion plan and schedule check-in meetings with all parties to make sure everyone was on the same page. He spent countless hours in the evenings and on weekends learning new features and was always excited to share his knowledge with his team. Ken believes in teamwork and doesn’t mind getting in the trenches to get the job done, whatever the job may be.

Ken is a valuable member of the 201U team and much of the district’s success comes from his go-getter attitude and work ethic.
