As previously promised, all emails sent to the Waunakee Community School District, published per an open records to the WCSD, completed by Mr. Randy Guttenberg and provided to me today, June 7, 2023.
The records request, dated May 22, 2023, read as follows:
Hi Rebecca:
Can you please forward me copies of all emails the district (just going off of emails rec’d by Ms. Ensign, Mr. May, and Mr. Guttenberg to limit it) has received re: Former Coach Mackenzie in the last two weeks?
I’ve had some people say that only negative stuff gets shared, and I’m going to publish everything on all sides, good, bad, neutral, etc.
Can you please also share or otherwise post the letters the district got back in October 2022? There were a bunch of letters/emails from the 10/24/22 meeting that the minutes said would be available in the extras, but I don’t believe they were ever posted.
Thank you! Hope you are well.
The following PDFs are all emails received by the BOE from October and May regarding Mr. Mackenzie, offered without commentary beyond this:
1. Whoever claimed there were “hundreds” of emails and comments sent to the district was dramatically exaggerating. There are about 25.
2. Ms. Ensign noted that the BOE decision to non-renew Mr. Mackenzie was a unanimous 7-0 vote.
3. Not a single email references anything that the BOE apparently used to make their decision.
