Families at St. Robert School in Shorewood were told last week that Assistant Principal Curtis Hart would no longer be part of the school’s “family,” according to an email from the school’s principal that was shared with the Journal Sentinel.
Lucas Stangler, the school’s principal, has not answered questions from the Journal Sentinel about why Hart left. Hart, reached by phone last week, told the Journal Sentinel he had “no comment” about his departure.
“There’s nothing to say,” Hart said, declining to answer questions about why he was leaving and whether he had been terminated.
Stangler’s message to families went out on Monday, Feb. 5.
On the previous Thursday, Feb. 1, Stangler sent an email to parents, notifying them of “an incident in the lunchroom today that may have left your students feeling upset or even scared,” according to an email shared with the Journal Sentinel. “I am aware of this incident and I can assure you I am taking it seriously,” Stangler wrote.
Stangler told families he was working to thoroughly understand the situation, which he didn’t explain.
