The leadership wheels keep turning around and around in the Lakeville North athletic department.
Former Panthers football coach Mike Zweber is looking to become the school's next activities director, pending approval by the school board. He would become the fourth person to hold that position in the past five years.
Zweber would replace Brett Carlson, who announced his resignation in February during his initial year in the position. Carlson previously served as the activities director in North Branch.
Russ Reetz left Lakeville North in 2014 after a two-year stint as its activities director. He is currently in the same role at Prior Lake.
Bob Ertl started the spiral effect when he resigned in 2013 for personal reasons.
Close calls
