Gary Blaschke worked at Burleigh Middle School and Brookfield High School up until his retirmeent in 2002. On April 1st, a former student contacted the district and accused the teacher of assault.
“Our internal investigation began immediately,” Supt. Mark Hansen told WTMJ. “We were able to quickly confirm that the allegations had validity.”
The school district forwarded it’s findings to the Brookfield Police Department. The district is now asking other possible victims to come forward.
“We are angry, we are sad, and we are working feverishly to get this right,” Hansen said.
