Northern Lehigh School District has named a new director of technology.

The school board on Monday appointed Eric Hill to the post at a salary of $88,000 (prorated for the remainder of the 2018-19 school year), effective on or about March 11.

Hill will eventually take over for John Hrizuk, director of technology, who is set to retire at the end of this school year.

At that time, Hrizuk will retire with 21 years of service with the district.

Last month, the board accepted Hrizuk’s retirement resignation, effective June 30.
