Moyer to leave D205 for new position out of state; D205 to begin national search for new superintendent

After six years of service, Superintendent Dr. David Moyer has announced plans to leave Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 at the end of the 2020-21 school year. Dr. Moyer will further his career pursuits out of state. His resignation is effective June 30, 2021.

“I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude for all of your efforts these past six years to transform District 205 into A National Leader in Future Ready Learning,” Dr. Moyer said. “I am so proud of all of you. During this time, we have accomplished many things together.”

“We respect Dr. Moyer’s decision to advance his career and wish him every success in his new endeavor,” D205 Board President Kara Caforio said. “At this time, we agree that the focus and priority should be on finishing the 2020-21 school year strong. As board members, we will diligently begin the work of identifying the next leader for our school community.”

After securing the assistance of a search firm, the selection process, opportunities for community engagement and the projected timeline will be shared. An update will be provided at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting on January 26, 2021, if not before.

For the remainder of his time with D205, Dr. Moyer has committed to a smooth transition that includes the continuing return of all students to full-time, in-person learning as soon as safely possible.
