“I believe at this time for you to apologize to me, to make this entire mess right,” Schwarc said in a prepared statement read to the board. She said she has served the district in multiple volunteer roles, described repeated online harassment she said originated with another parent, and said she had to obtain a civil stalking protection order.

Patrick Fletcher, an attorney who said he represents Schwarc, told the board his client seeks a formal apology, restoration as a volunteer wrestling coach and noted that a civil stalking protection order had been confirmed in a hearing the same day.

During public comments a second parent, Misty Tippenbach, asked the board how it would respond to social‑media allegations about a teacher at Greenbrier and said her children had been exposed to online claims. The board responded that it had issued a statement the prior Friday and that “we have taken all allegations and we have sent them to our attorney,” and that the district’s counsel would engage a private investigator to examine the allegations.

Board members said they could not provide more detail publicly while the investigation is ongoing. A district representative also said hypothetically a teacher under an active investigation would not remain in the classroom while the inquiry continued.

Late in the meeting the board adopted resolution 2025‑03‑146 to move into executive session for “personal matters specifically considered discipline and investigation charges and or complaints on public matters required to be kept confidential by state or federal law.” The board announced it adjourned to executive session at 6:49 p.m. for that purpose; no final action on the personnel matters was taken in open session that night.

The board referenced its public comment policy, Policy 0169.1, when outlining rules for speakers during the meeting.

Attorney Fletcher and Schwarc declined to provide additional specifics beyond the public statements recorded at the meeting. The board said it would follow counsel’s advice on next steps and on what, if any, information could be released after the investigation.","At the March 20 Farmer City School District board meeting, a volunteer removed from an assistant wrestling coach role asked the board for a public apology and reinstatement.

Czerniak said Dentsler also scored four stars in achievement, with “over 67 percent of our students test[ing] in the accomplished and advanced rating,” and that when proficient scores are included the combined total exceeded 80 percent. She credited use of the district instructional playbook, consistent grade‑level collaboration, the district‑adopted curriculum and the Quest tutoring program for the results.

The school’s gap‑closing measure was also a strength, Czerniak said, earning five stars and reflecting performance across multiple student subgroups, including English learners and gifted students. She described targeted supports such as Title I services, intervention specialists and weekly teacher‑based team (TBT) monitoring of benchmark data.

Czerniak identified early literacy as the school’s lowest area, with a three‑star rating that still meets state standards. She said Dentsler has trained core teachers in the science of reading and uses prevention, intervention and enrichment strategies to raise kindergarten through third‑grade literacy. Czerniak also noted third‑grade ELA proficiency remained “just below 70 percent” and that raising that figure remains a priority.

Czerniak reported a dip in the advanced performance band—from about 42.5 percent to about 35.8 percent year to year—but said gains in other bands helped keep overall achievement high. She said the Quest Tutoring program provides out‑of‑school‑time tutoring and that “about 85 students” participate beyond the school day.

On attendance, Czerniak said the school’s chronic absenteeism rate is well below the state target, reporting 13.9 percent. She described weekly attendance team meetings involving the principal, dean of students and home liaison and said the school uses parent outreach, a kindergarten orientation message about required attendance and a weekly recognition draw to improve attendance.

Board members thanked staff and families for the presentation and for bringing students to the meeting. Czerniak invited the board and public to visit Dentsler to see its programs in person.

The presentation covered the school report card data, current interventions and next steps to raise early literacy and third‑grade proficiency.","Dentsler Elementary principal Renee Czerniak told the Farmer City School District board March 20 that the school maintained a 5-star overall rating but identified early literacy and third-grade ELA proficiency as areas to improve. The school highlighted gap-closing success, tutoring programs and low chronic absenteeism.","actionData","errors"]
