Customer Experience Department
"People will forget what you did or what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."- Maya Angelou
The Customer Experience Department supports the vital service-related functions of the District, while managing the customer experiences that are important to the culture of the organization. As part of this effort, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s COMMUNICATE with H.E.A.R.T. ™ customer service program was designed to provide quality customer service for all stakeholders. Our mission is to raise expectations and increase satisfaction for every caller or visitor who makes contact with an employee in a CMSD school or office.
