Governance complaint at Madison’s Southside Elementary
In retribution for speaking publicly, MTI says, Terrell and Torres both submitted workplace bullying and discrimination paperwork with the Madison School District against all but one current MTI member who spoke at the board meeting.
The employment relations complaint alleges that Terrell filed this paperwork “to influence the outcome” of the investigation into her behavior. The same staff who spoke out have now been subject to “prosecutorial interrogations” by the district staff, according to the MTI complaint.
District employees can be disciplined or fired if found to be in violation of the workplace bullying or discrimination policies. As a result, the employment relations complaint also names the Madison School District.
Terrell and Torres denied the allegations in their responses to the complaint, but confirmed they did submit bullying and discrimination complaints with the school district.
