The Northwestern Board of Education met during a special board of education meeting Wednesday and voted unanimously on a resolution that says both that Steiner acted inappropriately but that he would be allowed to go back to work.
“The board has determined that Mr. Steiner did act on a number of occasions in a verbally aggressive, intimidating and angry manner toward others in the workplace,” the resolution says. “Whereas, the board has determined that Mr. Steiner’s conduct is unacceptable, in violation of board policy, and warrants formal discipline.”
