Park Hill assistant superintendent named to head Springfield Public Schools HR department


(From Springfield Public Schools)

Dr. Bill Redinger, current assistant superintendent of human resource services for Park Hill School District in Kansas City, has been named the next chief human resources officer for Springfield Public Schools, effective July 1. 

In his new role, Dr. Redinger will be responsible for hiring, onboarding, evaluating and supporting the diverse workforce of Missouri’s largest school district, which employs more than 3,500 individuals. Dr. Redinger’s SPS tenure will follow the retirement of Mrs. Penney Rector.








“SPS looks forward to welcoming Dr. Redinger to Springfield,” said Dr. John Mulford, deputy superintendent of operations for SPS. “His leadership has resulted in clear alignment of human resource services to the critical functions of recruiting, hiring, training, supervising and supporting every team member.”

Prior to serving 10 years with the Park Hill School District, Dr. Redinger led the Lone Jack School District as superintendent. Other administrative experience includes service as the superintendent/principal of East Lynne School; principal of Pleasant Hope Middle School; and assistant principal of Prairie Star Middle School in Overland Park, KS. Dr. Redinger began his career in education as a teacher at Harrisonville Middle School.

“As a former teacher, principal and school superintendent, I have always measured my success in terms of the students I serve,” said Dr. Redinger. “My wife is a former SPS teacher and our children began school at Wilder Elementary. The potential to move my leadership to Springfield is exciting to me.”

Dr. Redinger completed his undergraduate studies at Missouri State University, graduate studies in school administration at University of Central Missouri, an education specialist degree from Southwest Baptist University and a doctorate in education leadership from Saint Louis University.
