The last day of the fall semester for Falcon School District 49 marked the end of Matt Meisterís time as the districtís director of communications. Meister started at D 49 in April 2014, trading his stint as a weather forecaster for the top communications job in the school district. At the beginning of January 2018, Meister will return to television broadcasting as the chief meteorologist for Fox 21.ìMy return to broadcasting will allow me to serve the community, which is important to me, but also to serve my wife and kids the best I can,î he said. ìThe balance between work and family life is something that many of us struggle with; and, ultimately, I am most accountable to my wife and kids.îAlthough Meister will no longer be part of the D 49 communications team, he said he will remain on the board of the Falcon Education Foundation and continue to serve the district.ìI love D 49, and I will continue to champion for the students, the families, the people and the important work that is done here, as I go back to television,î he said. ìThere are a lot of really talented and dedicated people that serve the students of the district, and so it is not goodbye for me in any way.î
