About Me
- Peter Sobol
- My family moved to Monona in 2003 and have been happily ensconsed in the Frost Woods Neighborhood ever since. I have 2 kids who graduated from Mg. I have been serving on the school board since April of 2007. We moved back to the Midwest in 2002 after spending 10 years in California, where I was a Department Director for Maxtor, a Fortune 500 company. In truth we left California largely because of the school situation - chronically underfunded schools did not offer the kind of programs or opportunities we wanted for our children. We picked Monona because our thorough research showed that this was a place we would really like to educate our kids. Our experience has taught us to value the quality schools we have here in Monona, and the importance of careful stewardship to maintain community support for those schools.

Peter,
I apologize for that error. The decision on moving the 6th graders must be made by 2.24, because of scheduling issues, and I got the impression that the Winnequah schedule would also require changes if the Maywood students were moved there in the fall. Thus, I reported that a decision on Maywood would also be needed by 2.24, when this is not the case. Of course, the schedule for a 2nd grader is far less complex than one for a 6th grader.
I also should have been more clear that the remaining budget cuts will not be voted on until 3.24.
I have posted a link to the budget timeline pdf and updated my latest story to reflect the clarification above.
