ANTIGO (WAOW) -
At Thursday night's meeting, the Antigo school board accepted John Lund's resignation as principal of Pleasant View Elementary School.
In his resignation letter Lund states, "My career has been a varied and rewarding one. I greatly enjoyed working with you and everyone in the district. I will miss all of you, especially the students."
In a media release, the school district said that Cindy Fischer will continue on as interim principal at Pleasant View elementary school and principal of West Elementary School. The search for a permanent replacement will begin shortly.
The board took no other actions. Members and legal counsel discussed the four other employees on paid administrative leave and expect to make a final decision on their employment status in the next 5-10 days.
