Ellsworth Schools Teacher Comments

Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week, educators across the country have found themselves facing swift termination or potential discipline after allegedly sharing opinions on social media about the killing.

Now a teacher for the Ellsworth Community School District is at the least facing backlash and perhaps more from the District.

In a Facebook post Saturday, Brian Nadeau, Superintendent, posted this.

"We are aware of the attention and concerns regarding a staff member's recent social media post. District administration is currently reviewing this matter in accordance with the District's policies and applicable rules. Please understand that this is a pending confidential personnel matter that must balance a fair outcome for students, the employee, and the District with possible legal ramifications. In order to discern the truth and produce a fair outcome, a thorough review takes time, which allows the District to maintain trust and confidence among employees and the community regarding its decision-making process. Any further comment on an active investigation could impede the disciplinary process or provide incomplete information. We ask for your patience, understanding, and support as we seek to do what is right for our students and staff when handling confidential personnel matters."
