Elgin Area School District U-46 school board members hope to find their next superintendent among the district's own ranks.
Tony Sanders, who led the district since 2014, resigned as superintendent in February after being named the state's superintendent of education. U-46's deputy superintendent for instruction, Suzanne Johnson, was named interim superintendent in February.
"There are several reasons we decided to review only internal candidates," Kerr said during Monday's school board meeting, adding that the district had several candidates with superintendent endorsements who could fill the job."We also believe that utilizing a"grow your own" strategy -- a strategy the district has developed with other staffing positions -- will result in a more efficient and successful transition for the district as a whole.
Kerr said the board hopes to conclude the internal search by the end of May. If an internal candidate is not identified, the board would then move to expand the search, Kerr said.
