- Rebecca Forgash, currently the communication arts and social studies coordinator will be the director of instruction and
- Nikki Davenport, the district’s math and science facilitator has been named a coordinator in the position. Davenport formerly worked as a fourth grade teacher at the district’s Jackson Park Elementary School.
More administrative appointments will be announced within the next several weeks.
