1 A Bark for Schools Case Study — Sterling Unified School District We spoke with Dean Mantz, Network Coordinator of Sterling USD, to find out how Bark has helped his district confront the challenges facing students today. Mantz has been with Sterling USD for 10 of his 25 years in education. Located near the exact middle of the state, Sterling is a small, agricultural, religious community in Kansas. “In a town of 2,500 people, we’ve got around nine or 10 churches. Everyone looks out for each other,” Mantz says.

But when you consider what technology is available, we’ve really got to look out for our students.” A Bark for Schools
