Elkhorn Schools Clear Associate Principal After Viral Misattribution

District officials say tracing showed the source account belongs to someone outside the school system.

Overview

  • Associate Principal Cindy Rehberg denies authoring any remarks about Charlie Kirk and calls the online claims malicious.
  • The district reports more than 700 messages and roughly 800 voicemails by Sunday, including threats directed at Rehberg.
  • Technology staff traced the Facebook post to a person in Williams Bay who is not a district employee.
  • Law enforcement is engaged with an increased police presence planned at all campuses as classes continue.
  • District Facebook pages were temporarily deactivated, and reporters say the identified poster has not responded to outreach as legal options are weighed.
