Close...but no cigar

Last night, the Baraboo School Board decided not to decide with finality on Baraboo School District Superintendent Lance Alwin and his dismissal/conditional resignation.

As suspense builds, the more likely Alwin will be exiting his contract with a conditional resignation. In other words, it’s gonna cost taxpayers to provide Alwin encouragement to seek other employment opportunities. Time to get the checkbook out and practice writing zeros.

Who renewed Alwin’s contract without a whimper last May? A very costly mistake you should keep in mind as you go to the polls April 1. The odds continue to increase that the board will not resolve the Alwin matter prior to the election, leaving it for the newbies to mop up the mess.

Not surprised.

Bye-Bye

The school board is holding a meeting tomorrow night "for the purpose of considering dismissal proceedings and/or the conditional resignation of the Superintendent, and take action as appropriate."

Looks like this is the end of the proverbial employment road for our impressive Superintendent, Lance Alwin. He has left many in our community with an impression of his work performance. It's finally come to: quit or get canned.

Nothing personal. Lance Alwin is simply incompetent in the position of district Superintendent for our Baraboo School District. It's about time.
