Dr. Robin J. Vannoy is a highly accomplished educational leader with two decades of comprehensive experience, distinguished by a career spanning clinical practice, executive administration, and systemic reform. With a foundation as a school psychologist, a district, and building leader in both special education and discipline, Dr. Vannoy possesses a unique skill set for navigating the most complex educational challenges. Holding a Doctorate in School Psychology, a Master’s in Educational Leadership, and specialized certifications in School Discipline Reform, she is committed to equity, innovation, and systemic improvement, delivering measurable, positive change for both students and educational organizations. Her extensive background includes working with students across all developmental stages and serving diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.

Dr. Vannoy is uniquely positioned to guide both families and school districts due to her rare administrative experience as both Director of Special Education and Director of Deans. This dual role allowed her to successfully merge two critical areas where schools and families often need the most support: neurodivergent learning support and student behavior. She possesses a holistic understanding of student services, having supervised Special Education, 504 Plans, Counseling, and Health Services, ensuring coordinated, comprehensive support across the board.

During her tenure as Director of Deans, she spearheaded a transformative shift that led to a 50% reduction in out-of-school suspension rates and achieved the successful removal of the district from the Illinois State Board of Education’s Top 20% in Racial Disproportionality list for exclusionary discipline. She accomplished this by systemically advocating for and implementing restorative practices as powerful, sustainable alternatives to exclusionary discipline. This track record demonstrates her ability to not only solve immediate problems but also create equitable, positive school climates that maximize student instructional time.

In every role, Dr. Vannoy has been defined by her commitment to equity and student advocacy. She is a strong leader who provides comprehensive guidance to families seeking support for neurodivergent learners, and simultaneously offers school districts proven, results-driven expertise in systemic reform and IDEA compliant service delivery.
