Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – At least twelve District 186 employees are eligible to apply for the superintendent’s job about to be vacated when Jennifer Gill retires, according to information supplied by the district headquarters.
In addition to Gill, the following employees hold a superintendent’s endorsement in Illinois:

It’s possible there are more; the district’s FOIA officer, Julie Hammers, said via email, “Please note that employees are not required to provide this information to the district. As such, there may be other individuals who hold the endorsement that have not been identified by the District’s Human Resources Department.”
The board is expected to contract the Illinois Association of School Boards for search services at a special meeting Monday at a cost of $13,400.
