WONDER LAKE – Harrison District 36 has to start looking for a new superintendent to take the helm of the school district.

Bhavna Sharma-Lewis, who is in her third year as superintendent of District 36, plans to leave at the end of the school year for Riverside Public School District 96, near the west side of Chicago.

District 36 Board President Linda Amettis said the school board will discuss its need for a search at its Dec. 11 meeting. Whether to use a search firm and how to involve the community and staff will be considered, as well as a timeline for the search.
