The new superintendent of Frankfort Community Unit School District 168 said Thursday he is looking “rapidly and deliberately” at finances, personnel, curriculum, and procedures in order to give students the opportunities and resources to succeed and be good citizens.

Matt Donkin, who became superintendent on July 1, said he will be asking staff to define what it is they do; explain how they do it; examine whether the procedure is working, and to suggest ways it could be improved.

“I told the principals and the administrative office staff on the first day that I’m going to be asking four questions repeatedly,” Donkin said.  “These are: ‘What is it?’; ‘How are we doing it?’; ‘Does it work?’; and ‘Could it be done better?’”
