CUSD 300 announces Nicole Bryant as next principal of Neubert Elementary, to start July 1
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Chris Sainsbury introduced Nicole Bryant as the district’s chosen principal for Neubert Elementary; Bryant brings two master’s degrees and 11 years of teaching experience and will begin July 1, 2025.
The Community Unit School District 300 Board of Education on April 8 introduced Nicole Bryant as the next principal of Neubert Elementary School; Bryant will begin her tenure on July 1, 2025.
Chris Sainsbury, assistant superintendent of schools, presented Bryant to the board and community. Sainsbury said Bryant has two years of experience as an assistant principal at Centennial Elementary School in Bartlett, Illinois, and 11 years of teaching experience in special education. Sainsbury described Bryant’s strengths as “organization, strong communication, and a collaborative spirit,” and said she has earned two master’s degrees — one in special education leadership and one in Illinois principal preparation — and a Bachelor of Science in Education.
Sainsbury said Bryant will work with central office staff to ensure a smooth transition and will host a summer meet‑and‑greet for staff and families. Bryant attended the meeting with family members who were introduced on the record.
Why it matters: The principal appointment carries operational responsibilities for Neubert Elementary’s staff and students and includes transition work ahead of the 2025–26 school year. The board announcement signaled the district will move forward with an onsite leadership change effective July 1.
Next steps: Bryant will assume the principal role on July 1, 2025; the district said she will coordinate with central office for onboarding and will hold a public meet‑and‑greet later in the summer.
