Northwoods School Officials Charged After Parent Allegedly Tried To Get Daughter’s PE Grade Changed

Rob Mentzer:

Jeffrey Schley demanded teachers provide documentation for his daughter’s grades and pressured teachers and the school principal to change her grades, referring to his wife’s position and threatening to take the matter to the school board, according to the complaint. In a later email to school staff, he wrote that he found it “absolutely ridiculous that a low priority class such as Phy Ed would result in (my) daughter losing class rank,” and claimed that the teacher was biased against his daughter because of her gender.

The complaint indicates that Erica Schley was copied on emails sent by her husband; it does not indicate that she participated in the meeting at the school or sent messages herself.
