DuPage District 88 introduces new teaching staff at board meeting
Summary
The board met new teachers hired this year from both Willowbrook and Addison Trail, with each new staffer giving a brief introduction of their role and prior experience.
DuPage High School District 88 used its second board meeting of the year to introduce newly hired teachers from Addison Trail and Willowbrook high schools.
New staff members stood at the podium and gave brief introductions including name, subject and previous school or training. Presentations were purposefully brief to allow board members to connect faces with names for the new academic year.
Introductions included: Glenn Brunton (16 years at Morton, role described as serving students in "Athens Veil" in the transcript), Justin Chang (biology and chemistry teacher from Morton West), Yulani Diaz (social studies teacher and bilingual sections, University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign graduate), Molly Salerno (math teacher, previously West Chicago), Jenna Bansek (art teacher, from Rolling Meadows), and others who stepped forward to identify their positions and previous experience.
Administrators asked new staff to remain for a short reception during the break so board members and district leaders could meet them in person. The board framed the introductions as an opportunity to "put faces with names" for the busy school year ahead.
No hiring votes or personnel actions were taken at the meeting; the presentations were introductions only.
