Two trustees step down following departure of superintendent
Long-time Trustee Betty Bekkering has also stepped down from the School District No. 57 board of Education.
The position of superintendent has been a revolving door since 2016. Prior to Richardson taking on the role in 2020, Rod Allen served as interim superintendent from May 2019 after Marilyn Marquis-Forster resigned less than three years after she was hired in 2016 to replace long-time superintendent Brian Pepper.
Bekkering however had nearly a decade of service on the board, first elected in 2011 and then again in 2018, and 2022. “Every member of the Board is committed to education and importantly, brings diverse perspectives. The Board has been, and continues to be, steadfast in creating an environment where different ideas and opinions are welcome and productive debate encouraged before fact-based decisions are made – including those of governance and policy,” said Weber.
