BREAKING NEWS: Abingdon School Superintendent to Resign
POSTED 8:59pm 1/3/11 The Superintendent of the Abingdon School District is planning on leaving the area to take another job with another school district.

Tami Roskamp tells WGIL she will be leaving District 217 at the end of the school year to become Superintendent of the Beecher School District south of Chicago. Roskamp is completing her third year with Abingdon, having come to the district from Spoon River Valley, and is under contract to work for District 217 until 2014.

The Abingdon School Board will hold a special meeting Wednesday at 1pm to vote on Roskamp's resignation, and to determine a course of action for finding a replacement superintendent.

Roskamp replaced Magie Stuart as District 217 superintendent. She originally said she'd decline to talk to media until after Wednesday's meeting, but contacted WGIL Monday night saying she was ready to elaborate.

MORE DETAILS TUESDAY BEGINNING AT 5:30AM ON THE WGIL MORNING NEWS.
