Two incidents involving Right at School employees’ treatment of elementary school students were so “despicable,” according to Superintendent Demond Means, that the school district swiftly chose to terminate the after-school care provider’s contract at the end of this school year and begin searching for a replacement.
Little information was released about the incidents themselves, other than that they involved “physically aggressive behavior” by Right at School employees toward students on April 15 at Roosevelt Elementary School and April 17 at Eisenhower Elementary School. The employees were not identified.
UPDATE: After posting this story, Tosa Forward News was referred to violations related to the incident at Roosevelt that were logged online by the state Department of Children and Families. It includes a brief description of the April 15 incident, in which "a staff member pulled a student by their sweatshirt while laying on the [ground] and later restrained and carried the child into the bathroom."
Now, about a month after the news first broke, Tosa Forward News has confirmed that the Wauwatosa Police Department investigated both incidents but closed those investigations without pursuing any formal charges against the three employees involved.
