Obituary

"If there's a silver lining to this, it's that his story can be shared."
Nathel was the first black superintendent of Flint, Michigan. Family and friends said Burtley was determined to improve the experience of black and brown students, using the lessons he learned while growing up in a segregated Illinois city to fuel his work in Michigan.
