It's been years since I've had reason to look for official job postings. Are the IASA Job Bank and ihsfca.com still the best places to look?

Well that didnt last long. Thought he did a good job in a short time there. Rumors of Casey Westfield being open again after just 1 year.

IHSS reporting Marion is now open as Kerry Martin has submitted retirement letter.

Bollingbrook open

i'd think one or two guys on the staff would get that job.

Agreed.

Was Seth Hill still the coach there? I haven't spoken with him in years by now, but he actually played for me when I was still a freshmen coach at Jacksonville.

Bolingbrook, pending board approval, will hire Titcus Pettigrew.

It's been posted on the Marion Star Facebook page that Jason Dunning, I believe the DC at Marion, has been named their new head coach.
