Madison Superintendent To Retire In 18 Months

From Channel 3000:

MADISON, Wis. -- Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Art Rainwater announced on Monday night that he will retire next year.

Rainwater informed the district's Board of Education at their Monday meeting. His retirement will be effective the end of next school year, which will be June 30, 2008, according to a district press release.

"I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the board and the Madison community," said Rainwater in the news release. "This is a great school district and a great community that has always put the welfare of our children first. I am honored to contribute to this effort."

Rainwater said that he gave the board 18 months notice so they would have sufficient time to conduct a search for the next superintendent.

Rainwater has been the district's superintendent since February 1999.
