Apparently ECASD BOE President, Dr. Carol Craig, called in to WAYY during a discussion of the School District woes and spoke with the radio host for about 20 minutes about the current situation with the investigation. I did not hear the discussion, but it was re-broadcast on Wednesday morning because, in the judgement of the radio station it was information worth repeating. Here is a short summary on their website.

SCHOOL BOARD PREZ. SAYS "BACKDATEGATE" RESOLUTION NEAR
DAN LEA Reporting
EAU CLAIRE'S SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT SAYS THERE'S A GOOD REASON THE BOARD IS NOT RELEASING MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT A FORMER SUPERINTENDENT'S CONTRACT CONTROVERSY. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS SAY IT APPEARS A MEMO WAS BACKDATED BY FORMER SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT CAROL OLSON, THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED FORMER SUPERINTENDENT BILL KLAUS TO COLLECT A RETIREMENT STIPEND BEFORE RETIRING. THE BOARD'S INVESTIGATION HAS CONTINUED FOR 9 CLOSED-DOOR SESSIONS, AND CURRENT SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT CAROL CRAIG SAYS SHE'S AS FRUSTRATED AS THE PUBLIC IS WITH HOW LITTLE INFORMATION THEY CAN RELEASE. CRAIG SAYS THE BOARD IS NOT HIDING ANYTHING, AND SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO THE DAY THE BOARD CAN OPENLY DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH THE PUBLIC, BUT FOR NOW, THEY'RE STILL CHECKING THE FACTS. CRAIG SAID THE DISTRICT'S LEGAL COUNSEL HAS ADVISED THAT RELEASING DETAILS NOW WOULD JEOPARDIZE THEIR INVESTIGATION.
