ELMHURST, IL – The Elmhurst school board plans to vote Tuesday on an interim principal for Sandburg Middle School.
The board is also set to vote on a Sandburg "interim administrator," though Elmhurst School District 205 is not identifying the specific position.
Sandburg is the second school to be under interim leadership for the next school year. York High School is now being run by two interim co-principals.
District 205 has not revealed the names of those being appointed for Sandburg's interim leadership.
Other districts release the names of hirees before their school boards vote.
But District 205 has historically kept the information for upper-level appointees a secret until the vote. Within minutes after a decision, the district issues an already-prepared news release to the public.
For lower-ranking employees, names are disclosed beforehand as part of regular personnel reports on which the board votes.
In May, Joshua Louis, Sandburg's principal for the last three years, informed his superiors he was leaving for a job in another district. His last official day was June 30.
On Aug. 3, Brandi Greene is set to become the new assistant principal at Sandburg, replacing Jeff Gail.
The school board is holding its special meeting at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the central office.
Under state law, the board was required to inform the public 48 hours ahead of time. It beat the deadline by three minutes, sending its announcement at 4:27 p.m. Sunday.
