East Aurora USD 131 public commenter says district staff member attacked parents on private page
Summary
Mary Fultz, a candidate for the school board, told the board she found social-media posts from someone identifying as an East Aurora staff member that she said attacked parents and discussed students; she said she would provide copies of the posts to district leadership.
Mary Fultz, who told the board she is running for a seat on the Aurora East USD 131 Board of Education, used the public-comment period to raise concerns about a private social-media group where she said an individual identifying as a district staff member has been attacking parents and families.
Fultz said she has been a member of the private group for several years and described seeing posts in which the poster identified themselves as an "East Aurora staff member" and criticized adults and families in the district, including references to Fultz's grandchildren. "There is an East Aurora staff member that is publicly attacking adults, families that are in the district, including myself and my grandchildren," Fultz said. She told the board she planned to print the posts and deliver a copy to the superintendent.
Fultz said some posts in the group were posted anonymously and described concerns about privacy and the sharing of personal information about children. She told the board she would provide the materials to the superintendent and a board member for review.
The board did not take formal action on the allegation during the meeting; the public-comment period concluded and the meeting moved to the superintendent-search discussion.
No names of the alleged staff member or the private group's exact title were confirmed on the record during the meeting; Fultz said she would share printed copies with district leadership.
