Indian Prairie CUSD 204 board appoints STEPS principal and director of research and assessment, approves consent items
Summary
The board approved two July 1 administrative appointments — Anne Dragosch as principal of STEPS and Dr. Sarah Mumm as director of research and assessment — and approved consent agenda items F–M; the board subsequently recessed to executive session.
At its March 24 meeting the Indian Prairie Community Unit School District 204 Board of Education approved two administrative appointments effective July 1 and passed its consent agenda items F–M.
The board voted to appoint Anne Dragosch as principal of the district’s STEPS program, effective July 1, 2025. The motion to approve Dragosch passed on a roll call vote with all seven trustees recorded as voting in the affirmative (Gintz; Jane; Rising; Deming; Fosdick; Karubas; Donahue). During the discussion, the superintendent said Dragosch is joining the district from St. Charles Community Unit School District 303, where she served as special education department chair since 2020; the superintendent said Dragosch will replace Kim Maloney, who is retiring June 30.
The board also approved the appointment of Dr. Sarah Mumm as director of research and assessment, effective July 1, 2025. The motion passed on a roll call vote with the same seven trustees recorded as voting yes. The superintendent described Dr. Mumm as joining from the "Cameland School District" (verbal presentation), where she served as director of educational services.
The board approved consent agenda items F–M in a single roll‑call vote. The transcript records the roll calls for the appointments and for the consent agenda with unanimous affirmative votes among trustees present. Later in the meeting the board voted to recess into executive session; the roll call for that motion likewise recorded affirmative votes by the trustees present.
Why it matters: These appointments replace two outgoing leaders and fill district leadership roles that the superintendent said will support curriculum, assessment and special‑education transition work. The consent agenda included routine items (agenda references F–M); the transcript records approval but the text of individual consent items is not included in the public audio excerpt.
Details from the meeting record: The transcript records trustees asking the new appointees to speak briefly at the meeting; Anne Dragosch thanked the board and said she is "beyond excited" to join the district and described STEPS as a "niche" transition position that is her life’s work. Dr. Mumm also addressed the board and said she looks forward to joining the district.
