They say the dissatisfaction ratings on superintendent and school board communication speaks for itself.
"I could've easily left this district for a significant pay bump, but I have such deep love and loyalty to Mosinee...I've never brought myself to do it," said McCarty. "You have lost sight of employees who have stayed here, instead of continually bringing in new staff...you should focus your attention on retaining the qualified and loyal staff you do have."
While the district said their goal is to improve overall staff well-being, some fear their voices are falling on deaf ears.

The community advocacy group, Grassroots of Menomonee Falls Area learned about the book ban earlier in the week when students who had the books checked out from the library were asked to return the materials by the end of the week.
"It's just another blatant attempt to take resources and material out of the hands of students," said Andrew Guss, co-leader of Grassroots of Menomonee Falls Area. "We’ve circumvented the policies we have in place for book reviews."
Previously, per school board policy, "challenged" books would be reviewed by the Menomonee Falls High School library media specialist, an administrator, a “reconsideration committee” and finally the superintendent before going back into circulation.
Muñoz's statement says these 33 books were reviewed.
