Closed Session Ends: No Decision
The Eau Claire School Board met behind closed doors for more than four hours on Friday, but no decision was made regarding the investigation into a former superintendent's contract. Last year, changes were made to Bill Klaus' contract that would have allowed him to start collecting retirement benefits early. One of the main issues is a memo that was backdated to clarify his contract. Former School Board President Carol Olson is accused of signing and backdating that memo when she was no longer president. Klaus is now on paid administrative leave as principal at Northstar Middle School. School Board President Carol Craig says the board plans to meet at least one or two more times with the next meeting scheduled for May 19th. The next closed session meeting for the board is scheduled for Monday at 5:00 p.m. The board plans to conduct a special hearing with an employee at that time. The district office says that hearing is not connected to the Klaus contract investigation. A criminal investigation by police is also ongoing. [more] May 9, 2008, 11:14 am
