Yet Another Gone: Newcomer to LW 210 Board Resigns

NEW LENOX, IL — A fourth leader has abandoned her post on the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 Board of Education. After just three months on the board, Dr. Kathleen Casey has resigned, effective May 24.

Casey, of New Lenox, was appointed in February with Christopher Lucchetti, to fill vacancies following the resignations of former board president Kevin Molloy and former board member Christopher McFadden.

A retired superintendent from Palos Heights School District 118, Casey professed she had the time and the educational background to "give back to a community that has done so much for me."

"We are thankful for Dr. Casey’s participation on the Board," said Board President Dee Molinare.

Casey's resignation is the fourth this year, the most recent being Arvid Johnson last month.

The board will accept applications for her seat beginning Thursday, May 26 through Wednesday, June 1 at 4 p.m. The application can be downloaded from the District 210 website atwww.lw210.org.
