'Toxic climate' leads to changes at elementary school
The Eagle Mountain-Saginaw school district is dealing with allegations of a "toxic" atmosphere at one elementary school.
FORT WORTH — Concerned parents voiced support on Monday night at an Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District board meeting for an assistant principal who was placed on leave last month following an incident with an intrauterine device, or IUD.
. . . .
"The climate at Comanche Hills Elementary is toxic due to poor leadership," said Jennifer Jordan, a mom who also sits on the school's PTA.
. . . .
"The declining grades, performances of students and test scores... no one really knows what is going on, and there is no real leadership in the school," he said.
The district issued a lengthy statement, saying:
The administration of Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD is very aware of the concerns surrounding the leadership team at Comanche Springs Elementary, and is actively working toward a resolution.
. . . . .
Glaser's attorneys said on Monday they talked with police, and the attorneys insisted the report was retaliation and unfounded.

On Thursday, Maurer, 34, filed a report with Fort Worth police saying that she was being harassed by an unnamed school employee recently placed on leave and that woman’s husband. She was reassigned Friday.
On Monday night, the “talking points” brought to the board included whether district officials support the assertion that anxiety induces vaginal bleeding, that a high turnover rate in teachers and other staff is due to heavy-handed tactics by the principal, and that the principal had misused PTA travel funds for personal entertainment.
The “talking points” also dealt with questions of safety issues at the school, switching of teacher assignments, staff drinking on campus, the use of disparaging nicknames for teachers, parents and even children, and lack of support for special-needs students.
