Seek New Proxy for North Berwyn Schools
Berwyn School officials seek a new superintendent after Clarence Barrett resigned and returned to Biloxi Mississippi. Barrett has ties to Brookfield as brother of Claudius Barrett. Plans for trial consolidation with South Berwyn appear abandoned as South Berwyn members oppose it. The district secretary reports multiple applications, likely to be screened by the University of Chicago and Northwestern University.
