BYRON, Minn. – A petition is making he rounds for the Byron school superintendent Mike Neubeck to resign. A petition organizer, Amber Freese, accused Neubeck of being less than transparent about the district’s dire finances. A crisis emerged last spring after a miscalculation by a former budget manager created a $2 million shortfall. The crisis solidified this month when voters rejected new taxes for a $1.9 million bailout. Major, major budget cuts now loom. At last check, Freese said she had 180 signatures. The district operates four schools with 2,300 students and 190 teachers.
