Superintendent Search

District 54 Superintendent Andy DuRoss announced in January that he would be retiring at the end of the 2026-2027 school year. He announced 18 months in advance of his last day in order to ensure the School Board has ample time to conduct a thorough search for his replacement and to allow for a seamless transition. In January, the School Board approved an agreement with HYA (Hazard Young Attea Associates) to conduct a search for the next superintendent. 

We will continue to update this web page with additional dates, a link to the survey and more as the process continues.
