By Ben Stanley

….On Tuesday, the School District's board of directors announced that Dirk Halupnik, superintendent of the Linn-Mar School District in Iowa, has accepted an offer to become Southeast Polk's new superintendent.

Houselog will remain the superintendent of Belvidere schools.

This is the third time since 2012 that Houselog has been passed over by a school district in Iowa after making it to the final round of interviews for an open superintendent position.

Houselog, a Dubuque native, interviewed with the Dubuque School District in 2012 and the Johnston School District, which is 10 miles northwest of Des Moines, in 2014

He has served as Belvidere School District’s superintendent since 2007 and has also worked as the superintendent of both North Boone School District, in Poplar Grove, and Carbon Cliff-Barstow Community School District in Barstow, Illinois.

Houselog told the Register Star last week that he has sought positions in Iowa so he and his wife can be closer to their daughter and granddaughter, who live near Des Moines
