The Illinois State Board of Education has a new chairman: Steven Isoye, a science teacher-turned-superintendent from Chicago's suburbs. Isoye was sworn in Tuesday at the board's monthly meeting, one day after Gov. J.B. Pritzker made the announcement. Isoye replaces former chair Darren Reisberg, who left the state board in May to become President of Hartwick College, a small liberal arts college in New York. Reisberg said in his exit interview with Chalkbeat that it will be important for the next board chair to spend time with school leaders, teachers, parents, advocates, and others invested in education to make good policy.
