South Milwaukee School District Superintendent David Ewald is retiring.
He will leave at the end of the school year after 11 years on the job. From the posting on the school district’s website:
In his letter to the School Board in which he sought his release into retirement, he describes himself as being blessed beyond all expectations to have spent his entire working life working side by side with some of the most remarkable people in the world in support of children and their families.
He describes his experience within the community of South Milwaukee as a profoundly gratifying experience, noting that the city of South Milwaukee is truly a great place for families… a safe place of collaborative relationships, superb recreational opportunities, excellent neighborhood schools and parks. And all this just a stone’s throw from the big city benefits of the city of Milwaukee.
As the proud parent of a Rawson Elementary kindergartner, I can personally attest to the quality of the school district Ewald has helped build. Good luck, Dave.

I’ll keep you posted on the search for his replacement, which apparently will begin with a closed session meeting of the South Milwaukee School Board on Wednesday.
