GREEN BAY, Wis. — A recording of Green Bay’s former school superintendent making controversial comments has been released.

Attorneys for the school board made the recording of Dr. Claude Tiller’s Feb. 6 radio interview in Atlanta public on Wednesday. Its release comes after the school board voted Sunday to accept Tiller’s resignation. 

“I said, Lord, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go to no white district,” Tiller said during the recording.

This is just one of the comments that landed the former Green Bay school superintendent at the center of controversy.

Tiller was in Atlanta recruiting teachers for the Green Bay school district. While there, he appeared on the show “Relationship Talk with Dr. Adrienne” to discuss challenges facing public education.

Tiller was unaware off-the-record comments made during breaks in the show were recorded by a webcam. The recording showed Tiller made several disparaging comments about Green Bay.

“Oh, my goodness. Let’s put that on our agenda, too. The mindset in Green Bay, Black and brown folks, it’s almost like stepping back in time,” Tiller said.

Tiller also made derogatory comments about a Green Bay High School principal, calling her a “wicked witch” and using a disparaging slang word to describe her.

When referring to an unnamed coworker, he used an expletive with an insult.

At one point, the host asked what type of industry exists in Green Bay.

“Anything dealing with wiping your behind is in Green Bay. We make Charmin. We make Brawny… anything dealing with toilet paper,” Tiller responded.

Tiller started with the district in July of last year. The Green Bay School District has not named his replacement.
