Star Tribune: November 13, 2007 – 10:27 PM: Emily Johns: Pleas aside, Prior Lake superintendent still resigning



One by one, they filed past his desk at the Prior Lake-Savage school board meeting Tuesday night, and each left a note. By the time the 200 to 300 people had walked by, Superintendent Tom Westerhaus had a bucketful of teardrop-shaped notes.
...

Westerhaus stunned the community last week when he sent a letter to employees saying he plans to step down at the end of the school year because of the election of Chris Lind.

In his letter, Westerhaus said he 'can no longer work in this district. The election to the board of a former employee, whom I had progressively disciplined and ultimately recommended for final dismissal ... confirmed for me that it was time to move on. The community has spoken through this election.'
