District 158 seeking applicants to fill school board vacancy
Huntley Community School District 158 is accepting applications to fill a vacancy on the school board with President Don Drzal's resignation effective Friday.
Drzal was elected to the board in 2009 and has served as president since 2013. He is stepping down because of a challenging schedule due to starting a new job in Chicago, officials said.
His replacement will serve until the school board election next spring, while board Vice President Michael Fleck assumes the presidency.
Interested candidates must submit an application by 4 p.m. June 25. Applications should be mailed to Julie Stock, Executive Assistant and Board Operations, Huntley Community School District 158, 650 Academic Drive, Algonquin, IL 60102, and must include the following documents: letter of interest; proof of citizenship; proof of residency within District 158's boundaries and Illinois for at least a year; proof of voter registration for McHenry or Kane counties; resume and three letters of reference; and verification of being at least 18 years of age.
For more information, contact the superintendent's office at (847) 659-6103 or email superintendent@district158.org.
