As was communicated in an e-mail on Friday, June 12, the Heartland Board of Directors has voted to select Sheila King as the Agency’s interim Chief Administrator and Jim Verlengia as interim Director of District Services.
Sheila is currently the Director of District Services at Heartland and her background includes being a teacher, middle school principal, K-12 curriculum director and Supervisor of School Improvement Services at Heartland.
The Heartland Board of Directors, which voted unanimously to select Sheila as the interim chief, believes she will be a strong fit because she understands and believes in Heartland’s mission and vision. She has been a member of the leadership team that developed and implemented the Agency’s North Star project.
To fill the opening that will exist from Sheila’s move, Dr. Kilcrease has appointed Dr. Jim Verlengia as the interim Director of District Services. Jim’s background includes being a teacher, principal, superintendent and director of educational services at Heartland. He currently serves the Agency as a partnership director working with the Des Moines Public Schools.
Sheila and Jim will both transition into their new positions on July 1, 2009.
