PCSD 25 is aware of concerns regarding a recent social media interaction involving one of our teachers. These concerns have been forwarded to the district and school administration for review. We take them very seriously.
The district expects respectful dialogue and will address concerns constructively. Ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being is our top priority. Any threats or harassment will be referred to the proper authorities.
While personal opinions shared outside school hours on personal social media and unrelated to the school district are protected, we realize those expressions may impact the community. Whether in agreement or not, the district is not responsible for employees’ conduct or speech outside the school setting.
As this is a personnel matter, we are limited in what we can share publicly. However, this situation underscores the importance of open communication, mutual respect, and a positive environment for all. It is crucial to balance individual free speech with the responsibilities of educators as role models. In the classroom and school setting, our teachers focus on the curriculum, not personal/political views.
For further questions or feedback, please reach out. Thank you for your support of our school community.
