It has been confirmed that a former technology teacher—one of the individuals named in our lawsuit against the Oconto Falls Board of Education—has voluntarily surrendered his teaching license with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

This case is about driving meaningful reform and making our schools safer for every student who walks through their doors. We are encouraged that David Heisel has surrendered his teaching license in the State of Wisconsin—but this is only the beginning. More must be done to ensure our schools are truly safe.

We commend the courage of the victims who came forward to speak out. It has not been easy, yet they have remained steadfast in their pursuit of accountability and safer schools for all.
