Russo, who has been with School Dist. 72 since 2005, will replace Kim Nasshan, who will leave her role as assistant superintendent next school year to take over the school district as superintendent. The current Supt. Joseph Bailey is set to retire June 30, 2017, according to information on the School Dist. 74 website.

Nasshan currently makes $185,000 for the 2016-17 school year, according to school district data.
“Having worked in Niles Township for over a decade, I am familiar with the outstanding schools in Lincolnwood School District 74 and the supportive community it serves,” Russo said in a written statement about the administration changes posted on the Lincolnwood School Dist. 74 website.
