BELVIDERE — The Belvidere School Board voted 7-0 Monday to have new Superintendent Daniel Woestman start sooner rather than later.
They approved a contract addendum that will have the veteran educator take control of the approximately 8,200-student school system on April 18 rather than July 1.
Woestman will receive prorated pay based on a three-year contract with a beginning annual salary of $175,000.
Woestman oversees strategic planning for the Rockford School District. He is a former English teacher and Hononegah High School assistant principal.
Belvidere schools have lost about 500 students since 2011. About half of the student population is considered low income. The district’s graduation rate was 83 percent last school year, compared to the state's 86 percent rate.
