Jim Chamberlain joined the staff at McKinley Elementary School and immediately found a way to make his mark. His knowledge of the school community is strong - his own children attend the school - and he uses that advantage to create meaningful and effective connections with the community by effectively supporting teachers in the use of technology. His creativity shines in videos that feature Principal Mike Koenig. He has made a difference and fostered positive school culture at McKinley.
