District 57 reelects president, names vice president and approves two administrative hires
Summary
The board unanimously reelected Karin Bennett‑Kill as president, elected Christopher Ledo as vice president and approved one‑year contracts for Andrew Piper (director of student services) and Kelly Binyoki (Westbrook principal). All motions passed by roll call votes.
At its May 20 meeting, the District 57 Board of Education completed officer elections and approved several personnel hires.
Nominations for president were closed after Board Member Christopher Ledo nominated incumbent Karin Bennett‑Kill; Secretary Flack recorded a unanimous vote declaring Bennett‑Kill elected to a one‑year term. Christopher Ledo was then nominated and recorded as unanimously elected vice president.
The board approved a one‑year contract for Andrew Piper to serve as director of student services, and members offered remarks welcoming him and thanking outgoing staff. The board also approved a one‑year contract for Kelly Binyoki to serve as Westbrook principal; trustees praised her experience with full‑day kindergarten transitions and prior district roles.
All personnel motions were passed by roll call votes recorded as affirmative by the members present. The board moved later in the meeting to enter closed session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters.
What happens next: the newly elected officers assume their duties immediately; the administration will onboard the approved hires per contract start dates.
