Hinsdale D86 Official Leaving Next Week
The exodus of officials from the district continues. It's uncommon for an administrator to leave before the end of a budget year. Cheryl Moore, the assistant superintendent of human resources for Hinsdale D86, is leaving the district next week. Moore, who started on July 1, 2021, has been a key figure in attracting and welcoming in quality teachers, related services staff, support staff, coaches, and administrators. The district's director of communications, Alex Mayster, confirmed Moore's departure but did not volunteer that she was leaving a week later. Moore declined to comment on her departure. The two board members resigned last fall due to frustration with the board's leadership.

As of Wednesday, the district was advertising the position of assistant superintendent of human resources. It is held by Cheryl Moore, who started on July 1, 2021. Reached by phone at her office, Moore declined to comment.
A day earlier, Patch asked the district's director of communications, Alex Mayster, whether Moore had given a five-day notice for her resignation. He said she had not, which was true because her notice was longer than five days. But he did not volunteer that Moore was leaving a week later. After Patch saw the job announcement on the district's website Wednesday, it contacted Mayster, who confirmed Moore was leaving next week. He said he did not know when Moore submitted her letter of resignation.
Mayster later released a statement on behalf of the district about Moore's departure, expressing gratitude for her service. "She has been a valuable member of our leadership team and played a vital role in attracting and welcoming in quality teachers, related services staff, support staff, coaches, and administrators," the statement read. "While we are saddened to see her leave, we understand and respect her decision to pursue a new opportunity and wish her nothing but the best moving forward."
Last fall, the two board members resigned effectively immediately, both expressing frustration with the board's leadership. The interim superintendent, meanwhile, gave five days' notice in December. During board meetings, Moore is known to get right to the point. Among school administrators, she has been perhaps the most direct about the disparity between Hinsdale Central and South high schools. For years, the wealthier and larger Hinsdale Central has offered a greater course selection than Hinsdale South. "When you have 1,300 students (at South) and this many options, the math is only seven periods a day. You will not have all these classes filled, it's a mathematical improbability," Moore said at a committee meeting last year. "It is a problem, and it will be a problem every single year we do staffing." At a board meeting a couple of weeks ago, board President Catherine Greenspon was pointed in addressing Moore. It occurred when another board member questioned resolutions calling for not renewing specific teachers' contracts.
From her chair in the back of the room, Moore said, "You can proceed, and we can handle anything afterward." "No, no, no, no," Greenspon said. Moore said the discussions would be about specific personnel and should not be held in public. "No, Cheryl," Greenspon said. "They're on the agenda. They're already publicly posted. My question to you is, Why don't you come up here before you make a decision? That would be appropriate, thank you." At a microphone, Moore said she was uncomfortable having a conversation about particular employees in public.
