Bismarck Henning CUSD 1 Superintendent Scott Watson is planning to retire effective June 30, 2028. The Board of Education is conducting a survey regarding a search for a new Superintendent. The selection of a new Superintendent is one of the most important decisions a Board of Education must make; therefore, the Board has hired the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) to assist in this process.
The Board of Education is seeking everyone’s input in the search process. The Board requests that all board members, all staff, all parents and community members complete an online survey provided by the IASB. The results will be tallied and used by the Board as they consider the future leadership of Bismarck Henning CUSD 1. All survey responses and comments will remain anonymous.
.
The survey for all other stakeholders can be accessed at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DQV9B5T
The survey deadline is: April 15, 2026 at 11:45 p.m.
Thank you for taking time to complete the survey.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the student’s family and the communities of Chrisman and Georgetown-Ridge Farm during this incredibly difficult time.
Sometimes the strongest thing a community can do is simply stand together. ❤️
