Leroy Ostrander board accepts resignation, approves personnel items and forms superintendent hiring planning committee
Summary
The Leroy Ostrander School Board accepted the resignation of board member Dave Lunning, approved consent-agenda items including personnel recommendations and a senior trip, approved a tax-abatement formality, and created a planning committee (Kyle, Jess and the chair) to manage the superintendent hiring process.
The Leroy Ostrander School Board voted to accept the resignation of board member Dave Lunning and approved multiple consent-agenda items, including personnel recommendations, a $1,000 donation, and the senior class trip to the Wisconsin Dells.
During the consent agenda the board approved minutes from March 17 and April 6, the treasurer's report, fundraiser recommendations including prom/post-prom plans, and a $1,000 donation to the Leroy Ostrander School District on behalf of Darryl Yost. Personnel approvals included a step-lane change listed for Tina (transcript lists both "Offman" and "Offord"), acceptance of a resignation by a special-education teacher listed as "Bridal" effective June 30, and retirements including Tim Bly (lead custodian, effective May 31) and Jill Salto (title teacher, effective June 30). The board also approved hiring listed as "Isabelle I." and accepted the retirement of Kathleen Dudley (effective June 30).
The board approved the 2026 senior class trip to the Wisconsin Dells, May 18–20, and granted a routine tax-abatement application for Jeremy Holdman (River's Edge Addition, Lot 11, Block 1). Members described the tax-abatement item as a formality.
On governance matters the board discussed replacing the vacant seat created by Dave Lunning's resignation and agreed on an outreach process to solicit letters of interest; the board noted the option of using a questionnaire or interviews if multiple candidates apply and that an election would later fill the remainder of the term. The board then formed a planning/hiring committee for the superintendent search with members Kyle, Jess and the chair; members noted there are currently three candidates under consideration.
