Before publishing this news, we went to the Mokena District 159 website to confirm the veracity of the comment. We found the link to the Contract Term Posting on the D159 website under the tab for the Business Office -- Documents Upload. The posting does not indicate when the Board of Education will be approving his contract. It was not, however, approved at the last board meeting held on December 6. The next board meeting is scheduled for December 20.

The website also indicates that Mokena District 159 began their Superintendent search in September. The Superintendent Profile created for D159 is posted. (Source:

According to the Contract Term Posting, Dr. White will earn a base salary of $195,000.
Pursuant to Section 4 of Dr. White's Mutual Termination Agreement with the D181 BOE, if he earns less than a base salary of $246,000 in a new job as of September 1, 2018, he will receive a severance payment from D181 equal to the difference in base salary, up to $100,000 (minus state and federal tax deductions, etc.). (Source: https://www.boarddocs.com/il/hccsdil/Board.nsf/files/ASNPCK5AE47F/$file/2017_10_30_Settlement%20Agreement_White_BOE.pdf)
This means that D181 will pay Dr. White a $51,000 severance payment, assuming his base salary is $195,000 on September 1, 2018.
We are glad that Dr. White has landed a job so quickly and wish him well in his new endeavors.

Approval of Don White as Supt.
It is unbelievable that anyone with half a brain is upset this buffoon is leaving our school district. There is no reason we should be paying this person to simply warm up a desk chair for the next 6 months and get paid over $100,000 to do so. Poor folks in Mokena have no idea what they are signing up for.
