Board President's Message

Dear District 204 Community,

With the superintendent search underway, the Board of Education faced the important task of filling the seat vacated by Supna Jain following her appointment to the Naperville City Council. The Board carefully considered its options and consulted with the district’s legal counsel to determine the best path forward. While this was a difficult decision, the Board believes our approach will allow us to move ahead seamlessly with the superintendent search process.

The Board has appointed Natasha Grover to fill the vacant seat. Ms. Grover brings valuable experience to this role, having previously been appointed to the board in October 2018 and then elected to a four-year term in April 2019. She is a District 204 parent whose children have attended or attend Welch Elementary, Scullen Middle School, and Neuqua Valley High School. Ms. Grover is also familiar with the superintendent search process, having assisted in the hiring of Dr. Adrian Talley during her prior tenure on the board.

With the superintendent search now in progress, the Board felt it was important to appoint someone who could step into the role and contribute immediately to this critical work. Ms. Grover will serve until the April 2027 election.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to ensure a smooth transition and select a leader who will inspire, innovate, and empower the future of District 204.

Sincerely,

Laurie Donahue
Board President
Indian Prairie School District 204
