PDF-Thomas Woznicki Dismissal (New Richmond, Wisconsin School District)

This document contains records pertaining to Thomas Woznicki a former teacher at the New Richmond Wisconsin school district Note Finding of Fact I at the bottom of the first page along with the Conclusions and Order on the second page. Thomas Woznicki was charged with six counts of “Sex with Child Age 16 or Older” in 1994, while he was employed with the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. The criminal charges were ultimately dismissed. The email on page 4 clearly indicates that Thomas Woznicki was asked to leave the Florence County, Wisconsin school district. Items 1 and 3 on the first page indicate that Thomas Woznicki was asked to leave the Boscobel, Wisconsin school district. Pay close attention to Item 7 on the third page. “Exhibit A” refers to the letter on the last page. This is the Summons and Complaint from a lawsuit that Thomas Woznicki filed in 2011, seeking to prevent the release of his personnel records maintained by the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. This document contains the full text of 2003 Wisconsin Act 47, which is sometimes called the “Woznicki Fix.” Act 47 addressed certain issues related to the “Woznicki Rule” that was established as a result of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s 1996 ruling in the case of Thomas Woznicki vs. Dennis Erickson. Specifically, the “Woznicki Fix” clarified who was required to receive a “Woznicki Notice” and specified a timeframe during which a public employee could challenge the release of records under the “Woznicki Rule.” This document contains numerous emails obtained from the Boscobel, Wisconsin school district, along with the Minutes of a special School Board meeting that was held on July 1, 2014. Note the “Closed Session” portion of the School Board Minutes and the series of emails following the School Board Minutes. Also note the email exchange between Thomas Woznicki and Brian Johnston, Business Manager at the School District of New Richmond, which occurred on June 26, 2014. This document contains numerous emails obtained from the Florence County, Wisconsin school district, along with copies of letters pertaining to Thomas Woznicki’s employment as Superintendent. Note the email from School Board President Jim Churchill to Superintendent Thomas Woznicki sent on April 23, 2013, along with the subsequent series of emails. Also note the email at the bottom of the third page (sent on November 16, 2012) and the email sent by current Superintendent Ben Niehaus on June 2, 2015. This document references “parent complaints, student complaints and concerns as well as faculty concerns” pertaining to Thomas Woznicki, a former teacher at the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. This document contains selected portions of Thomas Woznicki’s personnel file obtained from the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. Certain documents have been omitted due to potentially disturbing and/or graphic content pertaining to allegations of misconduct. The complete file may be obtained from the school district upon request. The release of the complete file was disputed in the Wisconsin Supreme Court case of Thomas Woznicki v. Dennis Erickson. The Woznicki v. Erickson ruling established the “Woznicki Rule” precedent, which gives public employees in Wisconsin the right to challenge the release of certain public records after receiving a “Woznicki Notice.” The more recent case of Thomas Woznicki v. Jeff Moberg also pertained to Thomas Woznicki’s personnel records from the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. This document contains a brief email exchange between Thomas Woznicki and Brian Johnston, Business Manager at the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. The email exchange occurred while Mr. Woznicki was the Superintendent of the Boscobel, Wisconsin school district. Note the reason for the address verification specified by Mr. Johnston in the first email, which appears to reference the “Woznicki Rule” notification requirement applicable to public records requests in Wisconsin. This document appears to contain selected portions of the “audio transcription” from some type of “formal hearing” associated with the case of Thomas Woznicki vs. Northern Ozaukee School District, including selected portions of Thomas Woznicki’s testimony (pages 30-46). The text on page 30 appears to suggest that Mr. Woznicki’s statements during the hearing were made under oath. He apparently agreed to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” during the hearing. Note the testimony regarding Thomas Woznicki’s middle name change on pages 7-9, 24-26, 31-33, and 36-37. Also note Mr. Woznicki’s testimony on pages 40-46, which appears to include references to litigation associated with his personnel file from the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. Pages 12 and 35 appear to contain testimony regarding Thomas Woznicki’s marriage. The first two pages appear to contain selected portions of a “grievance arbitration” document associated with Thomas Woznicki and the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. The text on the second page appears to suggest that Mr. Woznicki may have used “golf records” as his alibi, even though he was apparently the “President” of the organization that produced the records. It is unclear whether Thomas Woznicki’s position as President of the Hammond Golf Club could have potentially allowed him to fabricate or falsify the “golf records” that may have functioned as his alibi. The Boscobel School Board Minutes document on the third page mentions Thomas Woznicki and appears to reference “falsified documents” and “misrepresented” funds. The remaining pages appear to contain a series of emails, several of which were sent by Thomas Woznicki, pertaining to the documents in question.
