It was June 30, 2021, when WashingtonCountyInsider.com ran the story announcing Doug Gonring was stepping down from the Kewaskum School Board.
Gonring was elected to a 3-year term in April 2019. He had one year left in his term.
The last open seat on the board was filled during a similar process by Ric Leitheiser. He filled the seat that opened after Mark Sette quit. Leitheiser then ran for a 3-year term in April 2021 and won.

The board is moving to fill the seat because there are no scheduled elections for the remainder of 2021.
