Inclusion for Elmbrook Senior Leadership Means Our Way or the Highway
Special education staff are feeling unsupported as the district implemented "inclusion."
A community member at the 3/8/22 board meeting pointed out that Tanya Fredrich (Assistant Superintendent for Teaching & Learning) was interviewed for The Inclusion Podcast on 3/8/2019 where she discussed “equitable systems” and implementing inclusion in Elmbrook.
For teachers that may disagree with 100% inclusion for 100% of the kids with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) in our district, Tanya states that the conversation with the teacher involves telling the teacher that (at 24:17) ”it might be time for them to think about envisioning their future differently.”
This is a concerning viewpoint to community members who think that teachers that may speak up for their students are not being supported or welcomed by the administration.
Some reviews of Elmbrook from Glassdoor (pictured below) echo concerns as well about the administration.
As a reminder, in the 1/18/22 Board meeting, Linda Boucher was the only board member to vote against approving blanket contract renewals for members of the senior leadership team. All other Board members present (Jen Roskopf, Scott Wheeler, Jean Lambert & Glen Allgaier) approved bulk renewals of Senior Leadership employment contracts.
