Letter to the Editor 6-10-08

Integrity can't be selective
The Leader-Telegram demonstrates truth and fortitude when it continues to report on questionable actions by some in current or former leadership positions in the Eau Claire school district. After the Sunday, May 4, "Letter from the Editor" was printed, there is an important need to clarify key points in life activities and educational accountability.

Today there is a common fallacy in religious and business organizations. Arrogance and deception are continually observed in "lumping" financial activity all together. It becomes impossible to distinguish where the ultimate dollar is spent and who receives the greatest compensation.

This generation needs to understand, and model action speaks louder than words. Ridiculous, fabricated excuses do not excuse the "intelligently educated." We must clarify such talk as rubbish. Such actions can and will remove any praise from previous years of service.

Enough is enough! True integrity is demonstrated when no one is looking! Bill Klaus, Carol Olson and Mike O'Brien - we now know what you think and do when you believe no one is looking! Intelligent, educated citizens are refusing to accept your actions, fabrications and excuses. This school district desires open leadership with integrity. It sends the wrong message to our young people to announce a person is on paid leave, but does not reflect on the shameful activity of the likes of such "leadership." Our community respectfully requests the correct message to students that actions do affect your lasting legacy! Oust Klaus!
