PDF-Thomas Woznicki’s “Reason for Leaving” the Florence County, WI School District

According to the document on the first three pages Thomas Woznickis reason for leaving the Florence County Wisconsin school district was that his position as Superintendent was reduced to 6 FTE However the email to Thomas Woznicki on the last page sent by Florence County School Board President Jim Churchill Jr appears to suggest a different reason for Mr Woznickis departure from the Florence County Wisconsin school district. The email on page 4 clearly indicates that Thomas Woznicki was asked to leave the Florence County, Wisconsin school district. The first resume lists several school districts that have employed Thomas Woznicki. Note the missing employers between 1984 and 2007 in the second resume. The letter on the first page is called a “Woznicki Notice” and was sent to Thomas Woznicki on July 12, 2011.

Compare and contrast the contents of the reference letter on the last page with the School Board Minutes on the preceding pages. All documents were obtained from the Boscobel, Wisconsin school district. The background check was conducted using the middle name Suchomel, as opposed to Thomas Woznicki’s previous middle name (James). The background check for Thomas Suchomel Woznicki does NOT appear to reveal any history of arrests, criminal charges, or convictions, with the sole exception of a minor traffic citation (speeding) filed under the “former name” of Thomas J Woznicki (see fourth page). Also, the document does NOT appear to indicate any history of employment or residency in New Richmond, Wisconsin. This document contains two letters written and signed by Thomas Woznicki, a former teacher at the New Richmond, Wisconsin school district. The letters include references to a “formal reprimand.” 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 appears to indicate that Thomas Woznicki was asked to leave the New Richmond (pages 23-28), Florence County (pages 57-59), and Boscobel (pages 64-69) school districts in Wisconsin. The contents of the document span a timeframe of approximately two decades (20 years). The New Richmond, Wisconsin school district filed a License Review Referral with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Bureau for Teacher Education, Licensing, and Placement during April of 1994 (page 13). Twenty years later (April 2014), Thomas Woznicki was apparently still employed in Wisconsin’s public school system as the Superintendent of the Boscobel, Wisconsin school district. It is unclear what actions, if any, the Wisconsin DPI licensing bureau has taken related to the apparent decisions made by the three aforementioned school districts.
