A June 14 letter signed by 40 staff members, including every teacher, claimed Principal Steven Eskay openly discussed confidential information about children and staff and used disparaging language about both groups.
Officials with the Washington Teachers’ Union hosted a closed meeting at Eaton last week, hearing more about the allegations against Eskay.
An addendum listed specific examples. For example, signatories allege Eskay called students “assholes.” When referring to trans students, he reportedly said “Isn’t trans just another word for gay or lesbian,” according to the letter. Mitchell, who had been in the field of social work since 2015, recalled thinking, “It’s almost like not only did I need to leave, but I had to leave due to my own personal health and mental health,” she said. “I was having extreme anxiety.”
According to the teacher, there have been grievances against Eskay since September, but it was not until May when teachers finally started meeting to compare notes on their shared concerns. Many of the claims made against Eskay primarily come from women, specifically women of color, the teacher said.
