Five percent

In an October 17, 2006 memorandum addressed to Baraboo School District Professional Educators, with copies to Dr. Peter Gust (teacher's union), Mr. William Froelich (BEA president), Board of Education, the school district leadership team, and posted on the school district website for a month, the author of the memo stated:

"In any social organization, of which community is one, there will always be five percent of the people who will never raise their motivation to become part of preparing the organization for the meeting the needs of change to prepare for the future. My guess is that we know who those individuals in our community are."

Words never rang so true! Five percent of the responses represent the Baraboo School District superintendent as beyond reproach. These respondents are obviously unmotivated to become part of preparing our Baraboo schools to meet the need for change and prepare for the future.

It's clearly time for a change. With 71% of responses supporting the ouster of the superintendent one way or another, the writing is on the wall. Only 24% are willing to consider reinstating Baraboo School superintendent Lance Alwin - and then, only IF he's cleared.

The memo's author, Lance Alwin, can now dine on his words with the five percent vote of support he received as part of the BNR online poll below. Bon appetit!

BTW - about those mouse turds referenced in the same memo...maybe this will help.
