| Good afternoon, Chicago. Dolton West Elementary District 148 Superintendent Kevin Nohelty, who has come under fire for a salary increase that led to him making more than $450,000 a year, has resigned. In his resignation letter, Nohelty blamed certain board members for making his job difficult and targeting him with “harassment and bullying.” The school board met Sunday to appoint an interim superintendent, Shelia Harrison-Williams, who started with the district yesterday. Harrison-Williams previously was superintendent of Hazel Crest District 152.5 and during that time received the National Alliance of Black School Educators Superintendent of the Year award.
