RPS 205 Families, Staff, and Community -
Before we look ahead, we want to express our deepest gratitude to Superintendent
Dr. Ehren Jarrett for his twelve years of dedicated service to our district.
His leadership has been instrumental in shaping who we are today, and we thank
him for his unwavering commitment to our students, staff, and community.
In launching the search for our next Superintendent, we’re beginning a new chapter for RPS 205. We need someone who, like Superintendent Jarrett, sees our diversity, our challenges,
and our aspirations as their purpose.
Our process begins with the careful selection of an Executive Search Firm, chosen for their ability to meet this moment with expertise and vision. Together we will listen, through surveys and focus groups, to the voices of our board, families, students, and community, shaping the portrait of the leader we’re searching for.
With a clear path and a shared vision, we are aiming to select a new Superintendent
by January 1st, 2026.
We recognize that this is bigger than one decision.
It’s about believing in what’s possible for Rockford’s future, making sure every child and school has a leader who will fight for them every single day.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
We’re excited to take these next steps with all of you by our side and will keep you
updated as the search takes place.
