VIDEO: Muskego School Board Accepts Schroeder's Resignation, Starts Search for New Supt

Reading a statement he prepared for the school board because he didn't think he'd get through it otherwise, Dr. Joe Schroeder thanked the Muskego-Norway School Board for the opportunity to serve the district as its superintendent.

"In the spring 2007, board, you decided to entrust the district's futute in the hands of an applicant without any superintendent experience," he said, adding that he'd hoped their trust was rewarded.

President Jim Schaefer preceded Schroeder's statements by saying that while the board would miss Schroeder, "we are excited to see the impact he will have on education throughout the state Wisconsin in his new role."

Monday night's meeting ended in a closed session, where the board was set to begin deliberating on a search for a new superintendent, whose tenure would begin in July.
