6/11/08 KEWASKUM- Less than a year on the job, Anne Ignatowski will leave her Associated Principal position at Kewaskum High School to move up the district’s administrative ladder. KMS teacher Kris Dreher will move over to KHS to replace Ignatowski starting July 1. These changes come in addition to a number of other administrative changes approved by The Board of Education Monday evening.
According to Kewaskum Schools’ Business Manager Paul Reichert, the changes were unanimously approved during a closed session meeting held Monday, June 9. Board members also approved a proposal for administrative salaries and benefits for 2008-09.
Ignatowski championed the proposal to start the Kewaskum Career Academy. She began her career at KHS in 1997 as a social studies teacher. She replaced Tom Fischer last year when he was moved to KES as principal.
Once in her new administrative position, Ignatowski will receive $74,475. As Associate Principal at KHS she received $60,000 and worked 220 days per year. She now will be employed full-time by the district and will work from the new administration building.
Dreher is a seventh grade teacher at KMS and has been teacher-in-charge (filling in for a building principal when he or she is out of the building) for the last three years. She has worked in the Kewaskum School District for 12 years, teaching sixth through eighth grade Social Studies and Language Arts.
“I’m committed to this community and glad to stay within this community pursuing the next step in my education career of becoming an administrator. I enjoy the students and staff of this district. I wouldn’t change that for anything. I’m very excited about this new direction in my career,” Dreher stated.
Dreher attended the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh for one and a half years, later graduating from Concordia University in Mequon with an education degree and a minor in coaching. She received her Masters Degree in Administration from Concordia.
She will be paid $64,000 for the 2008-2009 school year.
Jane Lazarevic who has worked for the district as Instructional Technology Coordinator has been promoted to a newly created position of Director of Technology. In her new role she will supervise all aspects of the district’s information systems and technology programs.
Lazarevic will continue her role in training and assisting teachers in using technology in the classroom working from KHS. She will begin her new position on July 1. She will receive a salary of $80,000.
Melinda Krumm, who has been employed for the last year as Summer School and Paraprofessional Coordinator will officially take on the hat of substitute principal in the event a building principal needs to take a leave of absence for medical or other reasons.
Reichert explained the need for this came up after a principal needed to take an extended leave of absence during the 2007-08 year. The district has used teachers in charge at district buildings for principal absences less than a day for the last 20 years and will continue. When absences are longer than a day, Krumm will take charge. The teacher in charge program began when multiple schools were managed by one principal.
Krumm received a 90-day contract worth $24,300 for the 2008-09 school year. However this is separate from when she is a substitute principal. She is compensated at the same rate while substituting.
A list of the salaries for the 2008-09 school year can be found HERE.
