Jeff Berger, formerly a deputy director at the Iowa Department of Education, had his name in the news a few times because of some rare situations. He was involved on the state’s behalf in the recent cases of the Farragut school district’s forced dissolution and Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s petition-triggered dissolution vote.
Last September he abruptly ended his work with the state (or at least the lack of details in the Des Moines Register article makes it seem as such).
Now he’s resurfaced on a one-year contract as South Tama’s superintendent, according to the Toledo Chronicle/Tama News-Herald website. The previous superintendent’s contract wasn’t renewed at a May meeting.
