Ehren Jarrett

Superintendent at RPS 205

Dr. Ehren Jarrett is in his 10th school year leading the Rockford Public Schools as superintendent.

He has overseen the implementation of a $250 million facilities plan to build schools and provide major upgrades at all campuses. With recent federal funding from the American Rescue Plan, additional upgrades are underway, including plans to provide air conditioning to all learning spaces.

He and his leadership team are implementing a systemwide framework to ensure all students find success. The Rockford Public Schools' equity vision is to create learning environments that work for all students and interrupt the predictability of student outcomes based on zip code. He created a role for a Chief of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with a goal to ensure African American voices are heard.
