OSHKOSH, Wis–A former Oshkosh school administrator is suing to get his old job back. Christopher Willems files a wrongful termination lawsuit against the Oshkosh Area School District and the Oshkosh School Board seeking reinstatement and compensatory damages.
Willems was initially placed on administrative leave as Dean of Students at Vel Phillips Middle School after a 13-year old student was handcuffed and physically restrained by the school’s police resource officer during a disturbance in March of last year. He was then let go by the district at the end of the school year.
The Oshkosh Police Department found their officer acted appropriately in handling the situation, and no disciplinary action was taken against him. There are no court dates set in Willems’ case.
