The Oshkosh Area School District Board of Education is delighted to announce that the Board and Dr. Lang have agreed to an extension of the interim superintendent contract for the 2009/2010 school year pending contract negotiations. The Board met twice in December with search firm consultants, Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates, and after candid discussions regarding the state of the economy, the current referendum planning for April, the performance of the interim superintendent, and the other competing districts also searching for a superintendent, the Board determined that the best interests of the School District would be served with the exceptional talents and skills of Dr. Lang intact for another year. The performance of Dr. Lang has far exceeded the expectations of the Board and she has clearly made solid connections with our administrative staff. Dr. Lang also has significant experience in referendum planning and her presence in the district at this time offers great stability and a solid track record. Dr. Lang has provided direct, practical leadership to the district this fall and has helped us move forward. The Board of Education is extremely pleased that Dr. Lang is willing to extend her time in Oshkosh and engage in contract negotiations for the 2009/2010 school year.

“The Board of Education wishes to extend sincere gratitude to the staff, teachers, administrators, and the Central Office team for their continued support and their unwavering drive for success for all students and the district. We appreciate everyone's willingness to go the extra mile during this transition year and we are looking forward to a very exciting and productive 2009." – Amy Weinsheim
