Earlville Schools select new leaders after superintendent’s domestic battery arrest

There’s new leadership in place for the Earlville Community School District.

Former Serena Superintendent Dan Joyce started today as a consultant. He’ll be considered a consultant until former Superintendent Wade Winekauf’s retirement takes effect March 11th. After that Joyce becomes interim superintendent thru June 30th. As a consultant Joyce will earn $60 an hour. As the interim superintendent he’ll bring in $500 a day.

Starting July 1st, current Earlville Principal Rich Faivre takes over as full-time superintendent. He says he’s very excited for the opportunity to work for a great district and great school board.

All this change is happening because current Superintendent Wade Winekauf is stepping aside after November arrest for domestic battery and unlawful restraint. Winekauf and the Earlville School Board reportedly worked out a severance package in the ballpark of $192,000.
