Lockport Township High School District 205 superintendent announces retirement; board begins search planning
Summary
Superintendent Bob McBride announced he will retire on June 30, 2027; Board President Dr. Veronica Shaw led discussion on selecting a search consultant to guide the superintendent replacement process.
Superintendent Bob McBride told listeners on May 18 that he will retire on June 30, 2027, after nearly 40 years in public education, and that the Lockport Township High School District 205 Board is preparing a search for his successor.
"Selecting a consultant to lead the board through a search for my replacement is one of the most consequential decisions that the board will make," McBride said. Board President Dr. Veronica Shaw led a conversation about superintendent search firms during the meeting's president's report.
McBride observed that boards of education hire a single employee — the superintendent — and said the board wants to identify the right leader to serve the community, staff and students. The transcript notes planning is underway but does not specify a timeline for hiring a consultant or the search firm's name.
