Parents not informed of instructors’ suspensions at Bloom Trail
Parents of students at Bloom Trail High School in Steger are upset about not being alerted about two ROTC instructors who were suspended for allegedly sending inappropriate e-mails to some students.
Bloom Township High School District 206 Supt. Glen Gianetti said Daniel Walsh and Robert Lamacki were suspended with pay Feb. 18 pending an investigation into improprieties through e-mail dealing with ROTC students.
He would not go into any details of what the improprieties were.
Some parents are upset not only at the allegations, but about the lack of communication from the school.
“As a parent of an ROTC student who has these two instructors, my husband and I should have been sent a letter or informed in some way that they’ve been removed from the school,” said Theresa Kilmowski, of Steger, whose son is a sophomore in ROTC at the high school.
“I don’t need to know all the sordid details, but let us know what’s going on.”
Gianetti said he was told by Frank Kuzniewski, principal at Bloom Trail High School, that he had informed parents of the allegations and the suspensions.
Carla Anderson, of Sauk Village, said her son told her about the situation after he went to meet with Walsh and was told by students that Walsh had been suspended.
“They didn’t let parents know about this, as usual,” Anderson said. “They bury things over there.”
