Updated 5/14/2021 5:10 PM Outgoing Elk Grove Township Elementary District 59 Superintendent Art Fessler's next job at the Northwest Suburban Special Education Organization is over before it even began. The announcement by Fessler and officials at the Mount Prospect-based cooperative comes less than a week after a Daily Herald story revealed the new gig was being arranged to help Fessler work the 170 remaining days he needs to get a full pension.
Fessler, who will step down from the helm of District 59 on June 30, was set to work a staff position at Sunrise Lake Outdoor Education Center, the Bartlett day camp-like facility run by the special education organization.
