USD 417 Morris County has its next superintendent.
Board members chose USD 216 Deerfield superintendent Tyson Eslinger after a special meeting Thursday. Eslinger has been Deerfield’s superintendent since 2020 and has “broad educational experience as a teacher, administrator and an educator of educators,” according to a news release from USD 417.
Board President TinaRae Scott says Eslinger emerged as the leading candidate after a “very thorough search process.” Scott says the board is “confident that under his leadership, USD 417 will continue to be recognized as an outstanding school district.”
