'Angry BIPOC female': Monroe school supe accused of toxic workplace

MONROE — The week before Justin Blasko was put on administrative leave in mid-December, two Monroe School District employees alleged the superintendent created a “hostile work environment,” including instances of “intimidation, abuse of power and unethical behavior.”

The employees reported they no longer felt comfortable having one-on-one conversations or meetings with Blasko. They requested an outside witness present for all meetings with the superintendent.

One of the two complaints filed Dec. 9 claimed Blasko repeatedly violated district policies on workplace civility, including calling current and former employees derogatory names, targeted at women: “angry BIPOC female,” “evil (expletive)” and a “raging (expletive), no wonder her husband divorced her.”

“BIPOC” stands for Black, Indigenous and people of color.

Of all the enterprises and agencies that emphasize proper civil behavior, public education is near the top, if not at the top. Amazing someone could rise to the level of senior administrator in a moderate size suburban school district and be dumb enough to give voice to those sort of thoughts.
