The
District 540 Board of Trustees voted at their December 10 special
meeting to approve Jon Kilgore of Pontiac to serve as a Trustee
until the seat can be filled via the April 2025 electoral process.
Kilgore will occupy the seat vacated on December 1, 2024, by the
resignation of former Trustee Jeffrey Flessner. Flessner’s term was
set to expire in the spring and he had not filed for re-election.
Kilgore is currently the Superintendent of Pontiac Township High
School District #90. He has worked at Pontiac Township High School
since 2005, serving first as Assistant Principal, then Principal,
before becoming Superintendent in 2012.
Three full six-year positions, including the seat Kilgore is
serving, will be up for election on April 1, 2025. Kilgore will not
be on the ballot for the elected seat.
