‘Targeted, unwelcomed and afraid.' Fuerza teachers, parents voice leadership concerns

Elida Alvarez poured her heart into her job teaching at Fuerza Elementary School , and even helped build the school’s 4th grade dual language program. The school was “never just a workplace,” she told the Kennewick School Board during a Nov. 4 public meeting . “It was a community. I believed in the program, and I was proud of it,” she said. But things changed after Alvarez experienced “one of the most difficult experiences” of her teaching career last school year. “I experienced what I believe was a pattern of intimidation, unfair treatment, excessive micromanagement and unprofessional conduct by the head administrator,” she alleged. The emotional toll became “impossible to hide,” and she began to feel “targeted, unwelcomed and afraid.” “Every day, I tried to walk into my classroom with a positive attitude and give my students the teacher they deserved,” Alvarez said, fighting through tears. “But behind that smile, I was struggling.” “My students saw me crying, noticed my anxiety and would even warn me when the administrator was approaching. Think about that for a moment — children came to school to learn, yet they were worried about protecting their own teacher. No child should ever feel the responsibility

Teachers, parents ask Kennewick schools to investigate Fuerza leadership

Parents and teachers are asking Kennewick School District to investigate leadership at Fuerza Elementary School amid concerns of changes to its two-way dual language programs. Earlier this month, the Kennewick Education Association teacher’s union rallied at the school to demand “better working conditions and a more respectful and supportive environment.” Allegations have surfaced online that teachers are being intimidated, and their concerns are being dismissed by building leaders. The accusations, while unspecific at the moment, add tension to a school serving 610 K-5 students living in southwest Kennewick and home to the district’s first fully dual language program . Concerned parents also created a Facebook page, and have so far gathered hundreds of signatures in support of district intervention and removing Principal Dora Johns, who has led the school for four years . That group, Fuerza Unidos, plans to speak more about their issues publicly at the Nov. 4 meeting of the Kennewick School Board . In a statement, Kennewick School District administration said they were “aware of concerns on social media about the school.” “District leadership is listening, taking these concerns seriously and actively working through the district’s established processes to address them,” it read. “While we cannot discuss
