District 303 Superintendent Leaves For Northbrook Job

District 303 Superintendent Jason Pearson announced Tuesday he'd accepted a position as the superintendent of Northbrook School District 28. He will start his new job on July 1, 2022.

On Tuesday, he expressed appreciation to his staff for their commitment to students and families in the District 303 community, particularly over the past 21 months as school districts across the country have navigated the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jillian Barker, president of the District 303 school board, said Pearson's service to the greater St. Charles community during his tenure was appreciated.

“His calm, compassionate, student-centered leadership style has provided guidance, support, and vision for our students, staff, and families," Barker said. "We look forward to partnering with him for the remainder of the year as we work to accomplish the Board goals and priorities around completing a strategic plan, developing a ‘portrait of a graduate’, and engaging in an equity audit process”.
