Madison Mayor Paul "We are not interested in the development of new charter schools" Soglin Asked Sarah Manski to Run for the School Board; "Referred" her to MTI Executive Director John Matthews

Matthew Defour

Manski declined to name the other people who recruited her and has not returned calls since last Friday.

Soglin said when he spoke to Manski he did not know who the other candidates were or which seat she was going to run for.

"I thought she would be a good candidate committed to public education," Soglin said. "The only discussion I had with Sarah Manski was her candidacy for the School Board. There was nothing else to discuss."

Soglin said he was "disappointed for our community and disappointed for her" at the news of her withdrawal.

Matthews said in an email that Soglin referred Manski to him for a discussion about her candidacy, but that the grad school application never came up. He said he learned Manski would be moving to California when she called him at 6 p.m. on Feb. 20, the night before she announced her withdrawal from the race.
