   "David has an extensive and distinguished career at the elementary school level in three different school districts. He has demonstrated success in the classroom and working with other elementary teachers," said Superintendent of Caledonia-Mumford Schools David V. Dinolfo. 

   "I absolutely love elementary education; I think it fits my personality," Bulter said.  "I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with tremendous teachers and administrators throughout my career. I’m looking forward to bringing everything that I’ve learned and apply it to my own community."

   Bulter, his wife and son, live in the Caledonia community. Familiarity with many parents and children in the area through sports and other activities helped him feel comfortable at the elementary school during his two visit days. He acknowledges and is supportive of the tight connection that the school district enjoys with the community. "Caledonia-Mumford is a perfect fit for me. I’m really looking forward to it," he said.
