When District 65’s superintendent, Dr. Devon Horton, resigned in 2023, responsibility fell to the Board of Education to address the unoccupied position. After a timely and eventful search for the ultimate candidate, the district is set to identify the permanent superintendent on March 18. This is what happened before the district made their final decision on an appointee.
The identity of the superintendent has now been determined among the Board of Education and is to be revealed to the public on March 18. The superintendent plays an integral role in the district’s leadership, tasked with uniting students, staff, parents, families and communities across all of its 16 schools. According to the Board, the Evanston community will have the chance to engage with and get to know the new superintendent before they take office.
