LSC Selects New Principal: Mark Neidlinger!
The LSC voted late tonight to extend a four-year Principal contract to our current Montessori Director Mark Neidlinger. Congratulations Mr. Neidlinger! His commitment to the students and families of Drummond, his track record of success in building a thriving program, and his passion for Montessori education are among the outstanding qualities he brings to his new position. He has proven ability to meet the unique needs of our Montessori program within CPS, and to shine a spotlight on our school-wide successes. As a former upper-grades teacher with early childhood Montessori experience, he is well-positioned to respond to the needs of our students and staff at every level. The LSC is excited about working with Mr. Neidlinger to build upon Drummond’s successes and enrich the learning experiences of all our kids, parents and staff!
Please note that there are a few more important steps in the process before Mr. Neidlinger’s contract is finalized, including Board approval, negotiation of contract addenda, and completion of all requirements. The LSC will work closely with Mr. Neidlinger to ensure that all the steps are completed as soon as possible and that the transition of our school administration goes smoothly.
The LSC wishes to thank all the parents, teachers, students, community members and advisors who generously contributed their insights, questions, suggestions and opinions to the principal selection process. We carefully weighed every piece of information shared with us. We are grateful for your candor and your support throughout the process. As always, if you have any questions, concerns or ideas about this process, contact any LSC member.
