The Gibraltar Schools Board of Education is taking a serious look into the contributing factors leading to the recent untimely resignation of a teacher.  The board met in closed session Thursday to address that matter. In a written statement to DoorCountyDailyNews.com, School Board President Stephen Seyfer says “We discussed what we know, what we think we know, and areas that we do not know enough about, and a strategy for gaining a clearer and informed understanding of our school’s professional environment. The process we envision requires time and effort and we are committed to both.”   The board will discuss that strategy at its next regular meeting on February 8th.



The following is the full statement from Gibraltar School Board President Stephen Seyfer on a plan to investigate and respond to recent teacher resignations:  


“The Board, our superintendent, and our district’s legal counsel completed a clear and frank conversation regarding a study of teacher and parent concerns for the number and frequency of untimely resignations from district employment.  We discussed what we know, what we think we know, and areas that we do not know enough about, and a strategy for gaining a clearer and informed understanding of our school’s professional environment.  The process we envision requires time and effort and we are committed to both.  The Board will discuss this strategy as an agenda item at our next regularly scheduled board meeting.”
