DETROIT — The superintendent of Rochester Community Schools monitored the social media of parents who criticized the district and he and a deputy reported posts to at least two employers and one police department, the superintendent acknowledged in a deposition.
One of those parents was fired shortly after the district contacted her employer about a posting.
Superintendent Robert Shaner testified during a Feb. 3 deposition that he called one parent's employer, the Detroit Police Department, because he was "scared" by a social media post that called for protests outside private homes in March 2021. It was not clear to whose homes the post referred.
