Employee asks Wayne school board to launch independent investigation into alleged RIF and harassment
Summary
A district employee told the board his union-backed complaint alleges an improper reduction in force and a campaign of harassment that culminated in a delivery of paperwork to his home; he asked the board to read his two-page letter and open an independent investigation.
During the public-comment portion of the Jan. 8 reorganization meeting, a district employee identified himself on the record and told the board he had provided a two-page written statement alleging an improper reduction in force and subsequent harassment that pressured him into resigning.
The speaker said human resources recently sent two people who had taken over his role to his private residence at Mountain View Crossing to deliver a letter and that he viewed that visit as trespass and intimidation crossing professional and legal boundaries. He said he brought the matter with the support of his union and requested one remedy: that the board read his testimony and launch a full independent investigation into the actions he described.
Board members acknowledged the comment on the record but did not announce any immediate investigatory steps during the meeting. The speaker concluded by saying he was ready to answer questions; none were recorded in the meeting minutes provided in the transcript.
The allegation is a claim made by a member of the public; the board did not address or adjudicate the particulars at the meeting. The transcript includes two different renderings of the speaker’s name ("Pete Opehory" and "Peter Alpahari"); the speaker signed off using the latter in his closing line. The claim remains unresolved in the hearing transcript.
