Nationally Recognized Rolling Meadows Journalism Teacher Let Go

Stan Zoller, a nationally-recognized journalism teacher and adviser to the Rolling Meadows High School award-winning student newspaper, has been told he will not have a job with the school next year, according to the Daily Herald. 

Kurt Laakso, associate superintendent for human resources at Northwest Suburban High School District 214, told the Daily Herald there has been a small reduction within the district, though the journalism program would continue but that Zoller's position would be filled internally. 

Zoller has 20 years of journalism experience and has been with Rolling Meadows High School since 2005, according to an article about Zoller on the Lakeland College website. 

Zoller worked as an adviser for The Pacer, Rolling Meadows student newspaper, which has won several awards during his tenure, including the NISPA Golden Eagle, Quill and Scroll's Gallup Award and the Kettle Moraine Press Association's "All-KEMPA Award," according to the Lakeland College article.
