The letter dated Jan. 7 states, “I am sending you this letter to inform you that your child’s teacher (blacked out from parent) has resigned and will not be returning this school year. … I know you may have concerns about this change and how it will impact your child. However, I know that our students are resilient and that working together, we can make this transition a smooth and positive one for your child.”

But, Durik, who has four children who attend the school, said nothing came home with the other three. She said other families were not informed about the situation and why the school has a substitute principal until calls began going out from school and district administrators recently.

District comments

Racine Unified School District spokeswoman Stacy Tapp on Thursday would not confirm what school the alleged incident occurred at, and noted that the district legally cannot disclose sensitive information about students or employees.

She said a letter was sent home to involved parents and officials have been reaching out to all families of the affected school Thursday, but she noted that the district has endeavored to safeguard the identities of those involved.
