The Park Ridge-Niles School District 64 Board of Education is inviting interested community members to apply for a vacancy created by the resignation of Board Secretary Terry Cameron. Cameron is resigning his seat effective June 30, due to his employment and upcoming move out of state; he was elected in April 2013.
The Board will appoint a replacement to serve until the next scheduled municipal election in April 2015.
“Terry’s business foundation and his previous volunteer efforts on one of the Strategic Plan action teams brought valuable insights to our Board work, and his thoughtful contributions to our discussions will be missed,” Board President Anthony Borrelli noted.
“We encourage community members to offer their talents to our schools and our Board. It’s a time of great momentum in District 64 – with the transition to a new Superintendent, a major facility improvement at Field School this summer, and the implementation of our 1:1 learning initiative rolling out this fall – and we would like to be able to select from a broad pool of candidates to help us carry this forward,” President Borrelli added.
Interested candidates should submit an application no later than Monday, June 23 at 4:00 p.m. Information on qualifications and how to apply can be found on the Board vacancy page of the District 64 website. The Board will discuss the process to review applications at its June 9 meeting.
The Board is required to fill the vacancy in conformance with state law as found in Board Policy 2:70.
