District 112 Names New CFO, Communications Director

HIGHLAND PARK, IL - North Shore School District 112 hired two new staff members at a special meeting called the day before the three-day Memorial Day weekend.

Christopher Wildman, who has worked at the Morton High School District in Cicero for less than a year, has been tabbed as the district’s new Chief Financial Officer and Nicholas D. Glenn, a former campaign worker for President Barack Obama, has been named the new director of communications according to the Daily North Shore.

Wildman was selected after a series of interviews with Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy, Board President Michael Cohn and Board Member Eric Ephraim.

He will replace Mohsin Dada in the financial role. According to District 112 Board Member Jane Solmor Mordini, Dada made a decision to “throw himself to the sword” after the $198 million bond issue failed in March. Solmor Mordini is impressed that Wildman, who will replace Dada on July 1, is “young, interested and energetic.”

“We all want him to succeed and are crossing our fingers, as it’s a gigantic task at a difficult time,” Solmor Mordini said about the district’s financial state.

Glenn, who has worked for both the Chicago History Museum and Alder Planetarium, will replace Andi Rosen as director of school-community relations.

Rosen was doing the work of 10 people, Solmor Mordini said.

“Andi was innovative and creative. Although her personal obligations required more attention, and it became difficult to work 60 to 70 hours a week, she left everything in good order.”
