During my 30 plus years in various positions within the Bridgeport School System, Jim was a mentor, master teacher, and friend. He was the quintessential district leader, whose dedication and love for Bridgeport and its students never wavered. His imposing stature was balanced by the twinkle in his eye, revealing a certain gentleness for the hard-working teachers, administrators, parents, and children who referred to him as “the Santa Claus for the district,” an affectionate term which gave him a chuckle. From computers to color-coded cubbies, books, furniture, digital subscriptions and more, Jim endorsed any viable project that could enhance “academic achievement,” his own words. Those of us who worked with Jim will remember his big white truck, a familiar sight around town, as he personally made deliveries to the schools so that the children (and teachers) wouldn’t have to wait for a laptop or a new set of new books for the classroom.
And those of us who were mentored by him are proud to say that we learned from “The Betz.”

I remember your father as a wonderful administrator in the Bridgeport Public School System. He had such a kind smile. May you and your family find comfort in his memory.

I could not ask for a better father-in-law who cared so much for his family that he loved dearly. Not all people find excellent in-laws but mine were the absolute best and I feel so blessed that Jim betz was part of my life.. We will absolutely miss him so dearly.... The song Spirit in the sky was my father's favorite song and now You truly are a Spirit in the sky. You now are happy with your granddog and your soulmate!!!
