Hinsdale D86 Spokesman Leaving For New Job: School

HINSDALE, IL – Chris Jasculca, Hinsdale High School District 86's communications director since 2019, is leaving the district for a private school position, the private school announced Tuesday.

In a statement to families, the Latin School of Chicago said Jasculca will be the new director of marketing and communications starting Jan. 8.

The school said Jasculca brings more than a quarter century of marketing and communications experience that would greatly benefit the school. During his time at District 86, the private school said, Jasculca has been a champion for the "Family and Community Connections" goal of the district's strategic plan.

Jasculca couldn't be reached for immediate comment Tuesday night.

He also has held communications jobs at Oak Park School District 97 and the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Jasculca is set to leave while the school district is searching for a new superintendent. He started soon after Superintendent Tammy Prentiss took the helm. The board ousted her in June.

At District 86, Jasculca makes $150,000 a year, according to the district's compensation report. Latin School, which teaches students from kindergarten to 12th grade, advertised the communications position for $145,000 to $160,000.

District 86 began advertising the communications job Tuesday, offering a salary range of $125,000 to $150,000.

"Hinsdale Township High School District 86 is seeking candidates for Director of Communications. This is an executive cabinet-level position at a premier high school district in the Chicago area," the ad says. "We are seeking candidates with exceptional communication skills and experience working in the non-profit or education field."
