Dr. Menoni Resignation Effective Immediately—Julie Bartell to be Named Interim
Tuesday, July 22, 2025
Dear Burr Ridge 180 Community,
Late Sunday afternoon, the district was informed that our AMJES principal, Jackie Menoni was resigning from her positing effective immediately.
After reviewing the situation with the Board of Education, it will be recommended that Julie Bartell be named the 120-day interim principal at AMJES for the 2025-26 school year.
Ms. Bartell retired after 14 years at BRMS principal and 33 years as a CCSD 180 employee. She is obviously familiar with the district and community. Having just concluded an interim administrative position working with elementary students at Cass school district she has experience across all grade levels and already knows our systems, our parents and many of our students.
Julie cares about our district and will go above and beyond to serve our students.
While change is often challenging, the Board is unwavering in its commitment to provide our students and families every possible educational opportunity and resource to be successful. To that end, the Board is committed to the implementation of our district goals during this transition.
We look forward to continuing our work together as we serve the students and families of our great community.
Thanks,
Tom Schneider
Interim Superintendent
