(Rocky River) - There are two theories going around as to why Rocky River s school tax levy failed last week. While some say it was a response to how the school administration handled the case of a group of now-former teachers who made inappropriate comments about a student, others believe it had to do with a robocall that went out the day before the election.
The two-minute message from the Freedom For All PAC was recorded by Tom Zawistowski of the Ohio Tea Party. Zawistowski said in the message that the Rocky River Schools had communists and Marxists among teachers and administrators who were pushing for a program called Criitcal Race Theory, which he said, indoctrinates your children and grandchildren with race-based hate of white people, of American history, and of capitalism.

(Rocky River) - The Rocky River City Schools have finished their investigation into high school teachers who were accused of an inappropriate discussion about a student. It has resulted in five teachers resigning, and the sixth retiring.
Superintendent Michael Shoaf said a photo of a student, taken in a classroom, was on the phone of one of the teachers. There was also an inappropriate text chain regarding staff members, but not photos of students.
Shoaf said, the departure of these six staff members provides our school system with the swiftest route - without litigation - to provide 100% certainty that these individuals will not return to a Rocky River City School District classroom.
