The Dixon Public Schools Board of Education is continuing its search for the district’s next permanent superintendent with the support of the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) Executive Search team.
As the Board narrows the field of candidates to semifinalists, community input will play an important role in the final selection process. On the evening of Wednesday, October 29th, a representative group of district staff, parents, and community members will have the opportunity to meet with the semifinalist candidates, hear them respond to questions, and provide feedback to the Board.
Those interested in volunteering must be available from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on October 29th and should email Erin Grubic at egrubic@dps170.org or call 815-373-4966 by Friday, October 17th. If the number of volunteers exceeds available spots, participants will be selected to ensure broad representation across the community. If selected, you will be sent additional information about the interview process.
