Board of Education hires co-interim superintendent

BELVIDERE– In early August the Board of Education for the Belvidere School District named Cheryl Gieseke as its temporary interim superintendent.

At its next meeting the Board will take formal action to hire Dr. Larry Weck. Dr. Weck will work alongside Ms. Gieseke as co-interim superintendent for the remainder of the school year.

Dr. Weck is a graduate of Eastern Illinois University, Northern Illinois University, and the University of Illinois. After serving as the Superintendent of Schools for the Addison School District from 1983 to 2003, Dr. Weck has assumed interim positions in Addison, Grayslake, Benjamin School District 25, Evergreen Park, and most recently Big Hollow School District 38.

The Board of Education is working with B.W.P. and Associates in its search for a permanent leader.  Staff, students, and community members are invited and encouraged to participate in the search process by completing a survey, Finding a Leader for our Future, and by attending an upcoming forum.

The survey is available on the district’s website at www.district100.com and is open until Oct. 1.
