Open Letter to the Wornick Community

Recently, there has been mention in the press regarding litigation brought by two former employees against the school.  Some of you also received an anonymous mailing, which included false claims about Dr. Gereboff.  The plaintiffs deny complicity in the mailings. 

The Board of Trustees fully supports Dr. Gereboff and is impressed by her leadership, vision and execution of her responsibilities at Wornick. We feel lucky to have her as our Head of School.  

We are not going to respond to the anonymous communications, just as we avoided airing our position in the recent articles in the local press. The legal system is the proper place for resolution of these disputes, and is the only forum that protects the school, Dr. Gereboff and the Trustees. We condemn the use of anonymous, hurtful and false communications sent by someone who is unwilling to be held accountable for their actions.  

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Dr. Barbara Gereboff, I thank you for the genuine support and commitment to our school.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees,

Michael Farbstein
Employment Counsel, representing Ronald C Wornick Jewish Day School, Dr. Barbara Gereboff and Wornick Board of Trustees
