Dr. Jeff Schuler became superintendent of Community Unit School District 200 in September 2014.
Before joining District 200, Dr. Schuler most recently served as the superintendent of schools in Kaneland 302. Prior to becoming superintendent in Kaneland in July of 2010, he served as their district’s assistant superintendent for human resources from 2006-2010. He has served as adjunct faculty at Loyola University, Aurora University and Northern Illinois University. Dr. Schuler began his career in education as a teacher of gifted students at Joyce Kilmer Elementary School in District 21 in Wheeling, IL. He has also taught at the middle school level and served as a middle school principal in Northbrook School District 27.
Dr. Schuler earned his bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Indiana University, his master’s degree in education administration from Illinois State University and his doctoral degree in educational leadership and policy from Northern Illinois University. He has served as a speaker and columnist for various conferences and publications.
During his time in District 200, Dr. Schuler has led the creation of three strategic plans and the Portrait of a Graduate; drove community conversations on facilities projects including the completion of more than $50 million in facilities work; and supported shifts in major curricular work.
Dr. Schuler joined District 200 early in the 2014-2015 school year under a four-year employment agreement. An amendment to the agreement was approved in 2017. The 2021-2022 school year is the final year of the agreement. Annually, the Board of Education has evaluated Dr. Schuler’s performance, determined that his goals have been met and has continued the agreement. Accordingly, over the last several months, the Board of Education and Dr. Schuler have worked on the terms of a new agreement. The new agreement will continue Dr. Schuler’s employment with the District for an additional five years beginning with the start of the 2022-2023 school year.
