Board hears recommendation for Joe Blanchett as director of safety and security
Summary
Superintendent announced the recommendation of Joe Blanchett as director of safety and security for Districts 67 and 115; Blanchett, selected from 57 candidates, highlighted his 28-year Illinois State Police career and said he will work collaboratively with staff.
The board heard the district leadership report from Dr. Montgomery, who announced that Joe Blanchett has been recommended for approval as director of safety and security for Lake Forest School Districts 67 and 115. Montgomery said Blanchett was selected from a pool of 57 candidates and will oversee safety programs across all schools and facilities; the incumbent, Chuck Walsh, will continue through the end of June to ensure continuity.
Blanchett, who recently retired from the Illinois State Police after more than 28 years, told the board, "I'll worry about that, and, we'll work as a team to get there and make everything better." Montgomery cited Blanchett’s training in juvenile law and incident command and said the selection included meaningful input from students, teachers and administrators.
