PULASKI, WI (WTAQ) – The Pulaski School Board met Wednesday night for the first time since documents were made public about suspensions handed down in connection with a fight between high school students on March 18.
The board went into closed session, where the issue was discussed to some degree.
Pulaski School Board President Bob Skalitzky refused to say much after the meeting.
“Can’t discuss closed session,” said Skalitzky.
Principal John Matczak was suspended 5 days without pay, while physical education teacher Dave Shaw was suspended 3 days without pay.
When asked if there would be further action taken, Skalitzky replied, “I would have no comment on that at this time,” adding he supported the decision made by the district.
Skalitzky said he met with the parties involved in the incident this week, calling it “productive”. He did say when asked that the Pine family is ready to move past the issue.
Tim Pine is the parent who posted the video to Facebook.
As for Superintendent Milt Thompson, he was suspended with pay earlier this year. Skalitzky responding to a question regarding his status said, “Everything has been in closed session so I have no comment.”
Responding to a question about if there were any reason why Thompson would not be at work, Skalitzky kept to his standard response, “no comment.”
Interim Superintendent Bec Kurzynske issued a video statement last month in concert with the releasing of the documents.
