District 64 formally hires new superintendent; Collins will start July 1

Moments after his hiring became official, incoming Park Ridge-Niles School District 64 Superintendent Ben Collins on Wednesday said he's excited for the opportunity.

Collins will succeed Superintendent Eric Olson, whose controversy-filled tenure is set to end June 30. The District 64 board agreed to hire Collins without objection Wednesday, and it approved the contract just as easily. Board member Demetri Touzios was absent. "We really value their collaboration and input," Pearl said of the trustees-elect, who will take office May 11.
