D161 Board Hires Barb Rains as District's New Superintendent

The board approves the hiring 5-1 amid criticism from the public and some board members that the position should have been posted and other candidates interviewed.

In an almost five-hour standing room-only meeting that included unanimously passing a property tax levy, outlining plans to eliminate inefficiencies in the district and sparring between members of the public and board members, the big news from Wednesday's meeting of the Summit Hill School District 161 board didn't come until the very end after members returned from an hour-and-a-half closed session. That's when the board voted 5-1 to hire Barb Rains as the district's permanent superintendent, removing the interim label from the title she's held since former Superintendent Keith Pain resigned over the summer. Her contract begins immediately and will run through June 30, 2013, at a salary of $145,000, an increase of about $30,000 from her …

Who Will be the Next D161 Superintendent?

The Summit Hill school board begins the process to hire a new superintendent at Wednesday's meeting. And the board president already has her eye on the ideal candidate for the job.

Since Keith Pain's unexpected retirement in late May, Summit Hill School District 161 has been without a permanent superintendent. The district's school board will start the process to change that when the members discuss at Wednesday's meeting at Dr. Julian Rogus School how to proceed with a candidate search and the eventual hiring of the position. The district has been gathering input from parents surveys at recent school teacher conferences about what they want in a new superintendent, said D161 Board President Mary Kenny. The board will take those recommendations Wednesday and decide whether to have a town hall meeting to let other members of the district community--including teachers and administrators--voice their opinions on the …

It is great to hear what the board members are thinking - however it would be a great idea to ask the staff their thoughts and opinions as they will be the direct people who will be working the new superintendent.   more ›
