Deadline to Announce Candidacy for Board of Control & Advisory Council Positions

STEVENS POINT, Wis. – Administrators at WIAA member senior high schools are reminded that February 28, 2023 is the deadline to announce their candidacy for positions on the Board of Control and High School Advisory Council.

District administrators, high school principals and assistants at these levels who are interested in becoming candidates in their district (Board of Control) or large/medium/small classification (High School Advisory Council) should state their intention via a letter to Kristin Britz ([email protected]) at the WIAA office. Please note, candidates must have (1) Department of Public Instruction licensure allowing placement in the eligible set, (2) must be employed full-time or part-time in a qualifying position and (3) cannot be members of the teachers' bargaining unit.

Along with declaring candidacy, please also provide a written response to the following question: “Why do you desire to be a WIAA Board/Advisory Member and how will you serve the membership in this role?” (50 words maximum).
