At the RIMSD #41 Board of Education Meeting on August 23, 2023, Board members voted to approve Lanty McGuire as Interim Superintendent starting January 1, 2024, and serving through June 30, 2024.  

 

Mr. McGuire retired in 2019 as Superintendent of the Moline -Coal Valley School District.  He previously served as Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources and was Assistant Superintendent of Pupil/Personnel Services and Special Education for eight years before that. He also was a Dean at Rocky for years.

 

Mr. McGuire will take over for Mr. Alan Boucher who is currently serving as Interim Superintendent.  Due to the Illinois Pension Code, neither gentleman can work for more than 120 days.

 

Meanwhile, the search is starting for a full-time superintendent who will start July 1, 2024.  The Board of Education is working with School Exec Connect, a search firm known for matching the right person to a district.  In mid-September, there will be focus groups, surveys, and other ways for the RIMSD #41 community to voice their preferred characteristics for a new superintendent.  Look for information in the coming week on rimsd41.org, the District's Remind account, and social media accounts for how the community can get involved.
