SUPERINTENDENT TERESA GREMAUX
Performance overview
- Dr. Gremaux announced her retirement effective June 2026 at a board meeting in January 2025.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
- POSES AS POWERLESS
- Repeatedly expresses powerlessness against government overreach, executive orders, and vague laws
- Points to Title IX as a reason to allow boys to infiltrate female safe places when other schools push back (see additional information on North Manchester)
- Original feedback from those close to the issue at North Manchester suggested that the Gremaux administration allowed a boy in the girls’ restroom without informing other parents.
- Update January 2025: Dr. Gremaux has communicated that the situation with the boy using the girl’s restroom started before her tenure. However, this makes no difference to what she did with this situation once she was in charge.
- Brought in “experts” to justify transgender ideologies, and rejects all other definitions of male and female from the dawn of time (North Manchester)
- Has failed to attend multiple relevant community events to educate herself and engage with the Noble County community
- Update January 2025: Just 1 board member, Joel Lash, attended a recent event about Title IX, held at a local church in Kendallville. Another opportunity missed.
- Has taken no known opportunity to publicly correct any potential misunderstandings about her positions
- Update January 2025: Dr. Gremaux was asked again to clear up perceptions about her leadership statements and outcomes which leads some to perceive that she has a transgender agenda. Thus far, replies have not been adequate to clear up what she feels is a “misinterpretation of the evidence”. We want nothing more than to put this behind us, so we have tried once again to reach out. This has been met with disdain by some board members.
- IT ONLY MATTERS THAT IT’S LEGAL
- Repeatedly uses the law as a justification to set a low bar for her administration at East Noble
- Often recommends policies that only meet the minimum requirements of the law rather than being effective
- Repeatedly parrots that the lawyers said it was legal when challenged on bad processes in her policies
- Leverages vague laws to allow obscene materials in the curriculum and library
- Ask yourself about her pattern of leadership behavior and what it may mean in the future when mental health care moves into schools and the government wants to take away a child from a parent who will not affirm their adolescent gender dysphoria. (see this story)
- RECOMMENDED POLICIES – Lacking Good Common Sense Process Practices
- Lacks deadlines for key process steps
- Lacks commitment to implement the recommendation coming from the process
- Fails to provide transparency to parents and citizens
- RECOMMENDED POLICIES – Undermining Parental Rights!
- Failed to protect minors from being influenced by school officials on gender and legal matters without parents present
- Failed to provide public readings with sufficient advanced notice before a vote, even when asked repeatedly
- Showed no empathy to address the concern when receiving feedback
- Expressed stubbornness that the policy would not be changed once it was adopted
- RECOMMENDED POLICIES – Burdening Only the Engaged Parents
- Again, recommended only doing the minimum that the law requires, and hid behind lawyers when facing criticism
- Places all the burdens on good parents who wish to protect their children – redundantly search book catalogs, and redundantly research books online, and then shames them into reading the books before complaining about obscene content.
- Meanwhile, disengaged parents, or those who don’t seem to care what their student is exposed to have ZERO to do.
- MISLEADING PUBLIC COMMENTS – Claimed that there were proper public readings of a policy that is critically important to the community while they kept the policy drafts secret up until 24 hours before the vote when it was too late for the community to provide feedback!
- DRIVES OUT GOOD PEOPLE – Principal Andy Deming, a beloved son of East Noble, was driven out of East Noble schools because of Gremaux’s leadership approach. (see section below with more important details)
- PRESUMABLY USES TAXPAYER RESOURCES FOR MARKETING CAMPAIGNS CENTERED ON HERSELF
- “Superintendent On the Move” uses the official corporation internet outlets to help Dr. Gremaux distract from her leadership gaps
- Principles and Values are far more important than clever marketing
- DIVIDES THE COMMUNITY
- Under Gremaux’s administration placed a “wall” of chairs and dozens of signs telling the serfs in the community to “stay back” at board meetings for several months. Thankfully, this has softened some.
- Citizens are also seated so far away at times that we cannot hear.
January 2025 Note: As promised, we updated the page accordingly when provided with new information.

- Discusses the large Transgender justification meeting, lead by Teresa Gremaux, where her “experts” were advocating to re-interpret Title IX to mean that essentially there can be no gender-specific bathrooms, locker rooms or sports.
- “Title IX states that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation, in be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

- “In December, parents of students at North Manchester Elementary found out that the school was allowing a biological boy to use the girls’ bathroom without notifying parents or passing any policy that was debated in a public meeting.”
- “Anyone claiming that keeping bathrooms separated by sex is discrimination is lying to you. The parents of the Manchester School District revolted against this misinformation campaign.”
