Baraboo School Superintendent Briggs To Resign

Baraboo School District Superintendent Rainey Briggs announced Friday that he was stepping down from his post later this month.

Briggs shared no specific reasons for leaving in an email to staff. 

“This decision comes after careful consideration of my well being and professional growth,” he wrote.

In the email, Briggs said that the district’s Board of Education will take up his resignation during its Feb. 10 meeting. The resignation is expected to take effect Feb. 21.

School district spokesperson Ellen Weiland told the Baraboo News Republic that an interim superintendent will be announced at a later date.

Briggs was named superintendent in July 2021. Previously, he was director of elementary education in the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District for five years.
