Bruno – W.J. Kennedy
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/512815817-past-incident-with-a-black-student-haunting-d41-board-president-robert-bruno
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some
concerned Glen Ellyn residents are questioning what D41 board president Robert
Bruno, 64, is hiding about his past as a high school social studies teacher in
New Jersey. Back in 1986, Bruno was not rehired by the Westfield School
District in Jersey for reasons that included “an incident with a black
student,” “the man himself,” and “lack of professionalism,” the Westfield
Leader newspaper reported at the time. Recent online conversations surrounding
the June 5, 1986 article on a neighborhood chat site, Glen Ellyn Forum, caught
the attention of village resident Jeff Cooper; he challenged Bruno during the
public comment period at the July 15 school board meeting. “The newspaper
didn’t go into any details about the incident, so I told him we need clarity on
this,” Cooper told the DuPage Policy Journal. “We need to know what happened.”
Cooper also asked Bruno if he told the University of Illinois, where he is
currently a professor of labor and employment relations, about the incident
when the university was considering hiring him. He then asked Bruno to step
down as president of the board until it becomes clear what happened.)
