Friday was the final day for Tom O’Toole as superintendent of the Clintonville Public School District.
O’Toole submitted his resignation on July 24 after 16 years leading the district. He plans to retire.
In his resignation letter, O’Toole stated: “I have enjoyed the many interactions with outstanding administrative staff members, seen wonderful teachers in action at all levels of the district and the hard work and energy displayed by outstanding students over this time.”
O’Toole also said that with the birth of a new grandchild, it was time to do something different. He stated that he was thankful that his three children all graduated from Clintonville High School.
Lance Bagstad, Clintonville High School principal and district technology director, will be acting superintendent until an interim superintendent is named.
The school board has sought assistance from the Cooperative Educational Service Agency 8 to find an interim superintendent. As of Tuesday, there were nine applicants for the interim position.
