Milton Withdraws Madison Superintendent Application
Dr. Walter Milton has withdrawn his application for another job. The District 186 superintendent was a finalist for the top educator job in Madison, Wisc.
According to the Madison school district's website, Milton informed the school board in Wisconsin that the job wasn't the right fit for him, and he will pursue another opportunity.
At Monday night's school board meeting, some parents and teachers told us they didn't like Milton trying to leave amid a budget crisis here.
Milton is under contract with District 186 through 2014.
