There has never been a more exciting time to be part of North Shore School District 112. In my 8 years of Board service, we’ve built the infrastructure to accelerate student growth and uphold strong home values.

I was initially elected during a time of projected budget deficits, aging buildings, low student achievement, poor morale, and union issues. Over the past 8 years while I’ve served on the Board, we have overseen a complete turnaround for our district and the community.

Now it is time to ensure that success continues. A new Superintendent, Dr. Monica Schroeder, will take the helm in 2026. With all four of our long-term Board Members’ terms ending, it is vital that we maintain some continuity and institutional knowledge at the Board level to ensure our continued success.

It is an honor to serve.
Sincerely,
Art Kessler
