UNCO_LE@RN Leader #2: Matt Vosberg

In this video, we hear the Leadership Perspective of Matt Vosberg. At the time of filming in the Fall of 2022, Mr. Vosberg was serving as the Superintendent of Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School District 307, a large suburban high school in Bradley, Illinois. In the conversation, we discussed Mr. Vosberg’s work in a previous role in a different school district in Illinois. Specifically, our conversation focused on a policy change that he initiated to lower the athletic eligibility standard for students. Mr. Vosberg worked with the school board and community to shift their mindsets about athletic eligibility and the relationships between eligibility standards, participation rates, and academic outcomes. Their debates about eligibility requirements became national news when ESPN aired a story about their district on their television program called “Outside the Lines.”
