Give Klaus walking papers
Some of us remember April in Eau Claire - not Paris. We remember how April took her boots not made for walking (unlike Nancy Sinatra) on a plane to New York where she dazzled folks with her story about not being homecoming queen in spite of getting the most popular votes.
If anyone understands, surely Hillary Rodham Clinton does. So does a former Memorial High School principal who got his walking papers and took them "up nort'," where I now happily reside.
In spite of not getting national fame/attention, former Eau Claire school district Superintendent Bill Klaus should move out (and be pushed, if necessary), preferably somewhere far away to the south. Let's try to get rid of this Old Maid card, like the folks who sent Eau Claire its new school superintendant.
Does the school board need national attention before doing what is right? Paid leave? C'mon! Fire the dude. Kudos to Leader-Telegram reporter Julian Emerson for exposing the ruse.
Voters won't forget, so please, elected folks, do what is right before our children pay the price for your ignorance. Your silence is deafening. Tell us what you know, if you know more than we Leader-Telegram readers do.

Keep eye on school district
The recent issues surrounding the Eau Claire school board will hopefully persuade all Eau Claire residents to adjust their votes accordingly in the next election.
Let us also not allow this mishandling of responsibility to be pushed under the carpet. We must demand accountability for those we've elected to public office, and also see to it that punishment for violations is severely and publicly applied.
The closed-door meetings that the school board has held and the withholding of public records are more of the same sort of behavior that got us to where we are now. Closed-door meetings should be for very personal and private matters regarding students only. Public officials' behavior, pay and benefits do not qualify.
Kudos to the Leader-Telegram for not letting this violation of public trust be ignored. Please continue the attention and keep the public informed until the right thing is done.

If I am not mistaken, Marilyn Bushendorf is a past ECASD board member. By 'past' I am thinking Marv Lansing era, a long time ago.
The incident she is making a reference to goes back to the Lee Hansen era
