Summary
A community member told the board that principals and administrators sometimes bully teachers and asked the district to create systems to protect educators and increase transparency in supervision and evaluation.
At the public-comment portion of the board meeting, Alicia Lee Dekodu of Milwaukee (a community resident) told the board that "teachers and educational staff can be bullied by principals and administrators" and that when that happens, "students pay the price." Dekodu asked the district to "create systems that protect educators and offer a more balanced, transparent process for supervision and evaluation."
The district chair thanked the speaker and moved the meeting to the next public speaker. The board did not take immediate action during the meeting on the request; the comment was heard during the public-comment section, not as a formal agenda item.
