Board decides Klaus' case, but delays announcement

The Eau Claire school board has reached a decision regarding former Superintendent Bill Klaus' future with the district but isn't scheduled to release details about it until Friday.
Board President Carol Craig announced that the board had reached a board decision late this morning, but she refused to provide additional details. Left unsaid is whether Klaus will remain as a district employee.
Today's meeting was the latest in a series since revelations in April that Klaus had directed former school board President Carol Olson to sign and backdate a document allowing payment of Klaus' $267, 209 retirement stipend to begin last August, two years earlier than previously allowed. Several board members said they didn't approve that change to Klaus' contract finalized in February 2007.
The board's decision has been delayed by a number of factors, including questions about the stipend matter and concerns about whether the board must legally buy out the remainder of Klaus' contract, which ends in 2012.
