The four seats are determined geographically using the Illinois Association of School Administrators (IASA) Super Regions.<\/p>\n<p>The four inaugural electees to these new seats are all Superintendents and include Pontiac\u2019s Ryan McGuckin (IASA Northcentral), Riverside-Brookfield\u2019s Kevin Skinkis (IASA Northeastern), Collinsville\u2019s Brad Skertich (IASA Southern), and Carbondale\u2019s Daniel Booth (At-Large).<\/p>\n<p>The four Superintendents will be joined by two other new Board members, as Monmouth-Roseville Principal Eric Matthews won the election in Division 6, and Timothy Christian Official Representative Jack LeGrand ran unopposed to fill the At-Large seat reserved for a private school representative.<\/p>\n<p>Two other current Board members won reelection as well in Dunlap Principal Katie Cazalet (Division 4) and New Trier Official Representative Augie Fontanetta (Division 2).<\/p>\n<p>The Board will elect its officers for the 2026-27 school term at its regular meeting on Wednesday, October 14.<\/p>\n<p>IHSA member schools nominated candidates for the Board of Directors and Legislative Commission beginning on August 15. The nominations were tallied on September 16 and votes were cast from September 20 through October 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voting for seats on the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Board of Directors and Legislative Commission closed at midnight on Thursday, October 1, with the results being tallied and certified [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-more-sports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>IHSA Board &amp;
