Clinton school district finds new administrator
CLINTON — The Clinton School Board on Monday night likely will hire a former Milton High School principal as the Clinton district’s administrator.
The board has offered the position to Randy Refsland, who is the administrator in the Waupun Area School District. Refsland was the principal at Milton High School until 2008 when he took the job in Waupun.
The Clinton district expects Refsland to get to work on July 1, school board President Randy Gracyalny said.
Refsland will replace Pam Keifert, who will retire. She has worked in the district since 2007.
Refsland was one of three finalists for the job, Gracyalny said. The others were Jo-Ellen Fairbanks, supervisor of secondary curriculum for the Beloit School District, and Marc Eckmann, who since July has been director of educational services for the Clinton School District.
Eckmann withdrew his name before the final interviews, which were Saturday, Gracyalny said. Eckmann still is working in the Clinton district, Gracyalny said.
“We’re just real pleased and excited that Randy will be coming to Clinton,” Gracyalny said.

It's too bad more Clinton Board members didn't check with the staff who worked for Mr. Refsland. During his short stay here, he was responsible for hiring staff that are inept and of poor teacher quality. He also has a very bad temper and when pushed, it will rear it's ugly head. Good luck, Clinton.

Refsland is a J-O-K-E..Bottom line!!
When he worked in Milton it was TERRIBLE for everyone.
Senior Students typically have a tradition of silly stringing and Toilet papering the Freshmen during homecoming week..well he put a big ban on that just because his son was one of those freshmen who got picked on a little to hard during the event..POOR BABY! It was all in good fun and he surely didnt allow any fun to happen anymore!
