Jamie Rushford
Luce County
Jamie Rushford has been amazing coming into my class for the past several years to teach Health Education. She does amazing working with the kids, and they always enjoy her visits and lessons. She does a great job getting to know the students during the times she sees them and works hard to make sure they are engaged in the lesson and understanding the importance of the content. She has been a huge asset to their educational experiences. Jamie has also been incredibly flexible, especially with how many sick days and snow days we have had this year. She has worked hard to make sure she can come in to get all of the material covered that she needs to despite schedule changes and school closures.

I enjoyed talking with Lori Autterson. She immediately took ownership of my inquiry. She found some older paperwork pertaining to my property. When the information did not include information that I requested, she looked deeper into the issue and followed up after our conversation. She then sent me an email explaining what she had found.
I totally appreciate her quick and thorough response. It was a refreshing experience.
