Resident urges resignation of board member during public comment
Loading...
Summary
At the April 13 Pewaukee School District board meeting, citizen Chris Krasovich urged Board member Mary Larson to resign, alleging repeated conduct problems and saying the behavior distracts from district work; the public comment did not elicit a board response on the record.
Chris Krasovich, who identified himself during the public‑comment period, told the board he was speaking as a resident and parent and said repeated behaviors by a sitting board member require resignation. “When a board member fails to understand that their personal views are not relevant … you reduce the board’s power and efficacy,” Krasovich said, naming Mary Larson and urging her to step down so “our kids don’t continue to suffer.”
Krasovich listed a series of concerns he said he had observed at prior meetings — skipping trainings and tours, refusing onboarding, asking what he called inappropriate questions he characterized as conspiracy‑tinged, and making comments he described as discriminatory that he said risked student privacy. He said those behaviors “derail meetings and limit the board’s ability to be productive.”
The chair moved on after the public comment period; the transcript contains no on‑the‑record response from Mary Larson or a formal board discussion or action in response to Krasovich’s remarks.
The comment was made during the public‑comment portion of the April 13 meeting, when the board was conducting routine business. The board’s agenda later proceeded to consent items, policies, personnel and presentations. Krasovich’s statement is recorded in the meeting minutes as a citizen comment and no formal censure or investigation was announced at the meeting.
Next steps: the board may choose to address the allegation at a future meeting or through established personnel/ethics processes; no such action was announced at the April 13 session.
