WINONA, Minn.– The principal of Winona High School, Heather Fitzloff, who has been on leave since May, is leaving permanently. The School Board has approved an $11,000 separation agreement. There had been formal complaints in February and March, but Nancy Denser, School Board chair, declined to discuss details except that  the agreement assures “a clean separation of employment in an expeditious and amicable fashion.” The agreement itself says nothing should construed be as “an admission of liability or wrongdoing by or on behalf of Fitzloff, the District or any party identified in interest with the parties.” Fitzloff, age 49,  had been hired in 2021 from Prior Lake High School, where she was assistant principal.
