SHAWANO, WI (WLUK) — The superintendent of the Shawano school district is stepping down just as a new school year is about to begin.
Randi Anderson is resigning Sept. 2, she confirmed to FOX 11.

It is with mixed emotions that I am writing to share with you that I have resigned from my role as your Superintendent effective Sept. 2nd.

I thank each of you for your hard work and dedication to our students and families, I wish you all the best as you start the 2022-2023 school year.
