Bettendorf School Board Hires a Superintendent

Bettendorf School District

The interim superintendent of the Bettendorf schools will get the job permanently. Monday night, the board of education appointed Michael Raso.

Raso was hired by the district in 2008 to be assistant superintendent, then promoted to interim superintendent last summer after Theron Schutte resigned to take another job.

The permanent appointment actually won't take effect until next July. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
