Kreid and wife Kim will relocate to Brentwood, Tenn, in suburban Nashville.

There they will enroll their children in the Brentwood Christian Academy.

Their four children are Maren, a seventh grader; Trey,a third grader; Kobe, a first grader and Zeb, a pre-kindergarten school.

Kreid's own plans as a gifted educator have not been announced. He has not been offered a position yet, but knows the opportunity will come. Wife Kim is a physical therapist.

Kreid said, "We are certainly leaving on good terms. This is a good community. This was simply an opportunity for my family I could not pass up."

In other action, the Pinckneyville Community High School board of education authorized Kreid to begin work on a 2009-2010 budget; hired high school senior Matt Davis as a parttime custodian through the school's co-op program; approved the shooting team's field trip to National Scholastic Sportsman Program Convention in Metropolis Feb. 20 and 21; and was provided with an update on building planning.
