Oh, the things you find in cyberspace...
Armed with only a Pentium 4 processor, a wireless connection and a powerful search engine, one can find many, many interesting factoids on the web. While researching some information for a family member, I ran across a database referencing Wisconsin statutes; specifically Chapter 118, which covers General Schools Operations.
For example, look at this statute below:
118.24 School district administrator. (1) A school board may employ a school district administrator, a business manager and school principals and assistants to such persons. The term of each employment contract may not exceed 2 years. A contract for a term of 2 years may provide for one or more extensions of one year each.
Hey, isn’t PBCG our business manager and didn’t we give them a 5 year contract?
What gives, RUSD?
Updated @ 1:15 CST 9/7/07: I spoke with a school board member about this. He said the contract signed was a 2 year contract, with 3 1-year extensions. Perhaps an Open Records Request for a copy of the contract is in order.
I am still disseminating this information - I cannot for the life of me try to figure out why the board approved this.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. I didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I do think this needs further investigation, however.

"Brilliant deduction, my dear Watson!!" I agree.
See, Google can be used for something other than porn.
Very interesting find, Brenda! I'm no lawyer either, but I sure can read and I think someones got some splaining to do!
Seriously, there may be verbiage in the contract that addresses the statute, or we may be misinterpreting the statute itself (even though it seems pretty straightforward)... but I do agree completely that this should be investigated and this question answered before any settlement is reached with PBCG.
Absolutely...
I spoke with a board member earlier today - he told me that the contract was a 2 year contract, with 3 additional 1 year extensions.
I am still processing this information, and cannot understand why anyone would approve such a contract.
Good job Brenda!
