Governor Bruce Rauner has appointed a southern Illinois educator to the Illinois State Board of Education.
Rauner says Kevin Settle's 34 years' experience as a superintendent, assistant regional superintendent and teacher will bring important experience and regional perspective to the board.
Settle is the former Superintendent of Mt. Vernon City Schools and the former Assistant Regional Superintendent for the Hamilton-Jefferson Counties Regional Office of Education. He also worked as a teacher and principal at Webber Township High School in Bluford.
Settle earned his bachelor's degree from Eastern Illinois University and his master's degree and Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University. He lives in Mt. Vernon.
