Superintendent Search
Effective July 1, 2023, the District 65 School Board unanimously approved the appointment of Dr. Angel Turner as Interim Superintendent of District 65. Prior to taking over the top leadership role, Dr. Turner served as the Assistant Superintendent of Schools and Director of Literacy in District 65. She stepped into this position after Dr. Devon Horton announced his departure in May 2023 to take the helm as Superintendent of DeKalb County School District outside of Atlanta, Georgia.
Our Board has a strong desire to engage our community in a robust, inclusive process to ensure our next superintendent has the desired qualities, skills, and experience necessary to lead our district into the future.
On September 18, the School Board approved the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) to facilitate the search process. Please stay tuned to this website for important updates in the process.
