Will he get points for being a Brookhart recommendation? We have heard people complaining about retirees coming back to work in 150 as consultants; will he get slammed for being retired and coming to District 150? Will he be considered an "outsider"? And the most important question of all, can he hit the ground running? ************************
The Peoria Public Schools Board of Education held a special meeting on Monday, August 16th to appoint an Interim District Comptroller/Treasurer. Board Members unanimously voted to name Dr. David Kinney to the post.
Kinney retired in June 2009 as Superintendent of Illinois Valley Central School District 321. During his 36-year tenure at IVC, he had extensive experience with school finance and curriculum planning; and was involved with several new building projects. He has both a Ph.D and Master's degree in Education Administration; and a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, which were all earned at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. Dr. Lathan and the Board of Education appreciate the recommendation of Dr. Kinney by Dr. Gerald Brookhart at the Regional Office of Education. Source
