Description
Dr. José M. Torres was named IMSA President in the summer of 2014. Before coming to IMSA, Dr. Torris led the second largest school district in the state, Elgin School District U-46, through economic challenges—mainly due to the state’s budget crisis—yet he also has implemented many new initiatives to improve student learning. In partnership with the Board of Education and U-46 staff, Dr. Torres developed Destination 2015, the district’s five-year accountability plan that includes benchmarks and targets to help U-46’s more than 40,000 students achieve academic success.
