Community input next
step in Kohler Schools
principal selection process
Submitted by Kohler Schools
The Kohler Schools Elemen-
tary and Middle School Principal
position opening has garnered sig-
nificant interest. More than 130 ap-
plications were received from
qualified individuals in Wisconsin
and across the country. The district
is fortunate to have a strong pool
of candidates to consider. The ap-
plications were reviewed by the
administration and the Board and
on April 27, 2012, eight candidates
were identified for interviews.
The preferred candidates will
come to Kohler Schools in the
coming weeks to be interviewed
by a panel which includes two
Board members, the superinten-
dent, and teacher representatives.
The candidates will also take a tour
of the school with retiring Princi-
pal Sue Jaberg. The interview team
will then narrow the list of candi-
dates to three finalists.
Each finalist candidate will
come back to Kohler Schools on a
separate date in late May to partic-
ipate in a teacher and parent/com-
munity engagement session. The
engagement sessions will take
place on May 21, 22, and 23. The
teacher engagement sessions will
take place from 3:30-4:30 P.M. and
the community engagement ses-
sions will take place from 5:00-
6:00 P.M.
During the engagement ses-
sions, teachers, parents, and com-
munity members will have an
opportunity to listen to the candi-
dates respond to a set of prepared
questions and to ask some addi-
tional questions as well. Teachers,
parents, and community members
will be provided with a rubric in
order to provide feedback on each
candidate. The rubric focuses on
the following attributes: the candi-
dates ability to establish a shared
vision and mission; the ability to
set directions to achieve that mis-
sion; the ability to build relation-
ships and develop people; the
ability to develop and lead the in-
structional program; the ability to
develop the organization; and the
ability to implement accountabil-
ity. There is also an open-ended
form to provide additional feed-
back.
Along with the teacher and par-
ent/community input sessions, the
superintendent and a Board mem-
ber will visit each finalist in his or
her current school district. The in-
terviews, the input from teachers,
parents, and community members,
and the site visits will allow the
Board and the superintendent to
make a mutual decision about the
best candidate to join the Kohler
Schools team. The final decision
will be made and approved by the
Board at the June 11, 2012 regular
meeting.
Please join Kohler Schools on
May 21, 22, and 23 from 5:00-6:00
to meet the finalist principal can-
didates and to provide input on the
selection of our new elementary
and middle school principal.

The
Villager
The past sev-
eral weeks
have created
much turmoil
for WI, both
at the state
and local lev-
els. As Gov-
ernor Scott
Walkers budget bill winds itself
through the courts and the legisla-
tive process, concerns still remain
at the local level. In the end,
though, it should be realized that
communities will have to respond
to the budget as approved by the
House, the Senate and the Gover-
nor. In any case, it can be safely
said that all of us are ready to bring
the divisive issues to rest and move
onas the rights and dignities of
all are respected.
With the inevitability that com-
munities will be receiving less
State aid for their schools, less
shared revenue for community
services, and a freeze on tax levy
increases, your local governments
and school boards will experience
severe limitations on their upcom-
ing budgets. It is almost certain
that communities will have to
tighten their belts as the 2012
budgets are put in place.
Through all of this, however,
the education of our young people
cannot be abrogated and the youth
of today cannot be viewed as ex-
pendable commodities. The viable
future of any nation rests in its
young people. Mr. Marty Lex-
mond, District Superintendent,
definitely walks a tight rope in
working with the School Board,
the district staff, the students, and
the community while attempting to
maintain the strength of the Kohler
School Districts overall programs.
All of us have our personal beliefs
and agendas as to how it should be
done. In the end, though, we
should be unified on one front: the
future of our nation rests with the
youth of today. My personal best
wishes are extended to Mr. Marty
Lexmond, School Board President
Dr. Jane Bishop, and the other four
School Board members, and the
school staff as they pull together to
offer the best possible educational
programs for the youth of our com-
munity.
The Kohler Civic Club was or-
ganized one year ago and meets at
noon on the first and third Thurs-
day of each month. Meetings rotate
between Blackwolf Run Restau-
rant and Pine Hills Country Club.
In early May, the Village of Kohler
2011-12 Directory will be deliv-
ered to your homes and/or places
of business. The Club members are
working feverishly on the plans for
a Village of Kohler Cemetery Vet-
erans Memorial. A view of the
proposed plans will be forthcom-
ing soon; it is anticipated that an
architectural design will be dis-
played at the Kohler Cemetery for
the 2011 annual Memorial Day Pa-
rade. Plans include the unveiling
of the Veterans Memorial at the
2012 Memorial Day Parade, which
would be a highlight for the Vil-
lage of Kohler Centennial. If you
are interested in becoming a mem-
ber of this illustrious club, please
contact President Richard Balge
(920-694-1918).
The Village Centennial Com-
mittee continues to meet regularly.
We are pleased to welcome Cindy
Howley, Kohler Co. Representa-
tive, to the committee. Cindy is an
important addition, since her input
will bring to the table the history of
the Village of Kohler from the per-
spective of the Kohler Co. Other
Committee members are the Vil-
lage Board President, Amy Biznek,
Tom Leonhardt, Sheryl Lindstrom,
and Peter Fetterer.
The April 11th Board Meeting
will conclude my eight years as a
Village Board member including
my last eight months as interim
Board President. A personal void
is still felt with the untimely death
of Steve Reinbacher. Sincere con-
dolences continue to be with Ann
Reinbacher and her family.
During these eight years, I have
had the privilege of serving on the
Board in several different capaci-
ties. My primary role for several
years was Chairperson of the Prop-
erty Committee. In looking back,
several projects were completed
during that time. Among those
were the new roof on Kohler Me-
morial Hall Building, construction
of the Village Childrens Swim-
ming Pool, and the Lost Woods
Park Pavilion. Included are the up-
keep and replacement of several
streets including School Street,
renovation of Kohler Memorial
Hall/Theatre/Gym, extension of
sewer/water line on Woodland
Road, and the list goes on. Sincere
thanks are extended to Bruce Neer-
hof, DPW Superintendent, with
whom I worked closely for ad-
dressing the property agendas for
the Village; Laurie Lindow, Village
Clerk/Treasurer; and Cindi Gamb,
Deputy Clerk/Treasurer. Also, it
was an honor to serve with past
Presidents Oscar Ward and
Thomas Leonhardt.
My best of wishes are extended
to your anticipated new Board
President, Thomas Schnettler, and
the successful three of the four
candidates for trustee positions:
Thomas Gast, William Kunst,
Brian Post, and Dietmar Wohlge-
muth.
Again, thanks to all who have
made my position on the board
possible and to those with whom I
have worked. It has been an honor
in having served on the Kohler Vil-
lage Board!!!
Best of wishes
John Egan
