The State Journal Register in Springfield reported last week that the Greenview School District has named SIUE alum Janice Kunz as its next school superintendent. Kunz assumes her new duties July 1.
Kunz earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in elementary education from the SIUE School of Education in 1985 and 1995, respectively. She achieved a doctorate in educational leadership from Saint Louis University.
Kunz has been principal at Reed-Custer Primary School in Custer Park (Will County) since 2005. Previously, Kunz was principal at Virden Elementary School.
She replaces Gary DePatis, who is leaving Greenview after nine years to become superintendent of the Pekin High School District.
