Following a series of scandals involving Sun Prairie School District employees, the district’s incoming superintendent is pledging to improve communication and ensure a clear chain of command when bad situations arise.
Antoine Reed was formally hired on May 7 and officially takes over July 1. He currently serves as chief of culture and student engagement for Rockford Public Schools and has been a principal in Milwaukee; South Bend, Indiana; and Chicago. He will make $230,000 a year in his role with the 8,518-student Sun Prairie district.
Reed’s hire comes as criminal cases against two former West High School staffers continue to wind their way through state courts.
