Description

The District 218 Board of Education on September 16 met to discuss the upcoming superintendent search. Dr. Ty Harting will be retiring at the conclusion of the 2021-2022 school year after a distinguished career with Community High School District 218. The Board discussed all aspects of the search process and determined an initial timeline. According to Mr. Thomas Kosowski, Board President, "The timeline established allows for community engagement, strong recruiting efforts, and an opportunity to fully vet the candidates. The Board believes that through a comprehensive process, a strong candidate will be identified who will be able to build on the good work established under Dr. Harting's leadership." Over the next few months, the Board will engage the community in various activities, including survey and forums, to seek input regarding the characteristics desired in the district's next Superintendent. After seeking input from various stakeholders, the Board will interview candidates with the intent to hire a Superintendent by the February Board of Education meeting.
