The Lake County Board appointed Michael Karner Tuesday as successor to Roycealee Wood, the longtime Lake County regional superintendent of schools who retired earlier this month to focus on her health after contracting COVID-19.
Karner, the principal of the Regional Safe School of Lake County in Zion, was selected by Board President Sandy Hart and unanimously confirmed by County Board members to fill the elected post at a special Tuesday morning Zoom meeting.
