SWIC president’s retirement date is made official - LEXI CORTES, Belleville News Democrat

Southwestern Illinois College President Georgia Costello’s previously announced retirement date was made official Wednesday night. After a decade as SWIC’s leader, her last day at the college will be June 30, 2018. The SWIC board of trustees formally considered her retirement during its meeting Wednesday. And for the second time in two months, the meeting’s agenda included the possibility for a vote to fire an undisclosed number of full-time and part-time employees to cut costs. But the board decided again Wednesday not to take any action on potential layoffs. Any discussions about personnel have taken place behind closed doors. http://www.bnd.com/news/local/education/article190943944.html
