The next budget biennium is still a year away, but Sue Kiraly has taken her last roll call. The long-time district finance manager, whose retirement was approved by the board in April, nonetheless stayed on until a replacement could be found.

With Linda Klapperich hired as district fi nance manager in May, that time, has ended.

“You know so much,” board president De- nise Houstatter said of Kiraly in praising her towards the end of the June board meeting. Ki- raly was first hired by Stanley-Boyd Schools in January 1997, being a payroll accountant for 14 years prior to this. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from UWStout and an Associate degree in Accounting from Chippewa Valley Technical College, per her bio on the district website.
