Leon Tart

So I hear they are trying a temp service again at the high school.  Someone up an quit, along with whatever other vacancies still exist.

It would seem apparent what they pay and how they advertise positions should be reviewed and adjusted.  But whatever.

The problem is temp service people are fairly unreliable.  And you never know what you are getting since you didn't interview them yourself.  (Not that I really think the district knows what they are doing in terms of hiring)

Anyone remember this guy?  He worked at De Pere High School in 2004 thru a temp service when a normal employee was off on a long term medical leave.

"A De Pere man is charged with first-degree attempted homicide and sexual assault. Brown County deputies say Leon Tart, 44, raped a woman on a rural road near Greenleaf early Saturday morning..."

Speaking of the district not knowing what they are doing in terms of hiring....

Jack H...... started as temp and made it to become a district employee.  The problem was the poor guy was so unhealthy he died with less than 2 weeks into the job.

Jeff A....  This guy was decent if you could overlook him being legally blind.  Poor guy also died within a year after leaving the job.  This diabetes got the best of him.

Connie E........  There isn't much to say because this was more recent and this woman was certifiably nuts.  I wouldn't be surprised that De Pere recruited her from Bellin Psychiatric.  Either way it was so obvious this woman would be basket case of problems that you'd have to be a complete moron to hire her.

Bruce N..... Another even more recent hire for the High School.  Again this guy seemed alright, and I doubt he would have been a problem person.  The thing against him was his own feet.  There is no way he'd meet the physical demands of the job.  The guy was a genius.  The very first thing he did after his insurance kicked in was took a FLMA leave and had his feet fixed.  And here is where the genius part comes, after that he left good old retarded De Pere and took a better job.

You see De Pere doesn't concern it self with job knowledge, definitely not productivity.  Sadly after that very sternly written job recommendation letter I wrote for Dan L.., they didn't learn anything.  I am talking about that irritating part that upset them, where I suggested they focused on hiring better people, since they are horrible at fixing any personnel problems.

That 4.4 precent raise

Back during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school year, due to Scott Walker's Act 10 support staff  members felt it was best to take a wage freeze for those two years.  This voluntary act of concessions was probably in hopes the guy would back off from messing with collective bargaining, compensation, retirement, health insurance, and sick leave of public sector employees, etc.

2011-12: Admin: 1.5%, Support Staff: 0%
2012-13: Admin and Support Staff 0%
2013-14: Admin 0%, Support Staff 2.06%
2014-15: Admin 4.4%, Support Staff 2%
2015 and after all approved at the same time


More recently (after this was questioned) all the raises are now approved at the same school board meeting.  Back then months might be in between the support staff, teachers, and administrators.

So "the story" is the financial projections from the state looked different when support staff got the 2% vs months later when they got that nice 4.4%.

Bottom line: That bullheaded move created a lot of distrust between admin and everyone else.
