Lincoln Elementary Principal To Shift To Fill 'Key' District-Wide Administrative Role

PLAINFIELD, IL — Lincoln Elementary School's principal of a decade will shift gears in July.

With his appointment to director of elementary curriculum, Casey Hartman will take over a "key" district-wide administrative role, officials said. Hartman replaces Tammy Sroczynski who is retiring from the position.

The Board of Education approved Hartman's promotion at its Jan. 23 regular meeting. He will begin his new role July 1.

"We are looking forward to having such an experienced and well-respected elementary leader join our team," Paula Sereleas, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, said in a statement. "Mr. Hartman brings strong knowledge of instruction and classroom best practices to the position as well as a very strong relationship with our elementary administrators."

Hartman has worked in District 202 since 2008 when he was brought on as an assistant principal at Eichelberger, Crystal Lawns and Walker's Grove elementary schools. He served in that capacity until 2012 when he began as principal of Lincoln Elementary.

Prior to working in Plainfield, he began his education career in 2003 as a fifth-grade teacher at Naperville Community Unit School District 203.

"Mr. Hartman is an excellent professional educator with significant administrative experience," Superintendent Glenn Wood said in a statement. "His skills and background will be very important as they take over for a strong elementary leader in Dr. Sroczynski."
