Pulaski School District superintendent spells
out retirement plan
Kristine Martin, superintendent of the Pulaski School District since
2003, plans to work for two more years and then retire after the
2008-09 school year.

The Pulaski School Board accepted her retirement at Wednesday
night's meeting. Her last day will be June 30, 2009.

Martin, who is in her mid-50s, was hired as Pulaski superintendent
in June 2003, replacing Roy Green, who retired.

Before coming to Pulaski, she spent six years as superintendent in
Suring and four years as an assistant superintendent in Manitowoc.

Now granted, its been 40 years since I lived in Pulaski ,
yet my brother and my mother still live in this quaint little town.
One of the largest school districts in the area it's been said it has
a good reputation for student learning. Not so good for hate crimes
but good for academics ( that's another story).
My question to the taxpayers in Pulaski is what kind of retirement
package will she get? The reporter didn't ask, the board wouldn't
reveal, and the superintendent wouldn't say. The headline is
"Pulaski School District superintendent spells out retirement plan"!
It didn't spell out anything but she'll be gone June 2009.
Now I have to give her credit that Pulaski has come a long way for
a little Polish town but don't the people have a right to know?

As Paul Harvey would say,"Where's the rest of the story"?

What is the pay out,
Will the school district need to borrow money for her retirement?
Is it a lump sum pay out?
What will the new super get?
Now I can hear people say it's unfair for anyone to ask these questions!
That might be true but because of past pension problems( does
Milwaukee County pension scandal ring a bell) it is a fair question!

So all you tax payers , when you are voting in the fall of 09 for
another tax levee , please remember you were warned!
