KCE is identifying the former teacher at Kenosha’s Tremper High School who recently resigned in lieu of termination. Markise Jackson, 31, of Kenosha, resigned on April 26, 2024, according to a KUSD spokesperson. KCE is acutely aware, however, that HR Director Kevin Neir allows teachers to resign, even many days or weeks after being fired.

Kenosha Police Lt. Josh Hecker confirmed to KCE that there is a criminal investigation that was opened on April 24, 2024 in reference to Jackson and “inappropriate conduct,” although he could not comment further as the case is currently still open.

Neither Tremper Principal Steve Knecht, Communications Director Tanya Ruder nor Superintendent Jeff Weiss responded to KCE about the allegations. KCE asked them why they didn’t notify the students and their parents about the allegations. No one responded, which isn’t unusual – the three thought it best to keep the information out of the minds of the parents and taxpayers, considering all of the other scandals plaguing the district.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, this teacher has been licensed since October 20, 2023 as a “short term substitute.”

One mother told KCE that she was upset because she was lead to believe that the teacher was fired and Principal Steve Knecht didn’t tell parents about the alleged conduct. She’s extremely upset about what she calls a “complete lack of transparency.” She also wanted to know why the teacher was allowed to resign instead of being fired for the alleged conduct.

A student at Tremper told KCE that he believed this teacher has a job already in a new school district. “He was social media friends with most students, gave most students his cell phone number for texting, and used to send us DM videos of him vaping.”

KCE has requested the termination/resignation documents as well as any disciplinary documents in the personnel file of Jackson. KCE called Jackson’s cell phone and a women answered, saying “wrong number, and hung up.

Kenosha County Eye also made contact with Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction and asked when they would start holding KUSD accountable for not reporting these incidents to the state agency. Believe it or not, no one from DPI responded.

KCE will update its readers when more information is learned.

  1. The police can investigate all they want but the Democrat control District Attorney’s office will not prosecute any of the teachers.

    1. KUSD runs its own investigations, so nothing will go beyond their walls. They tip off the suspect so they can delete evidence, cover their tracks and move on to other victims.

      Worst excuse for a school organization ever. Each of them should be replaced simply for not giving a damn about the kids in their care. Pathetic monsters protect pedophiles and should also be charged with crimes towards children.

    1. That’s a respectable outfit, honestly. Don’t go for such cheap unintelligent blows when the obvious insults are right there in the article

      1. VOTE – wise advice … and vote with some wisdom. The fault here goes all the way to a school board filled with Dem woketards. A board truly interested in developing a strong educational system that checks all the boxes for good education is what is needed. A board that will hold the system accountable for meeting the system objectives, rather than checking DEI boxes and pandering to the union.

        It’s time the responsible teachers in the system today (no doubt the majority) to do their part as well. Stand up for their reputations. Decertify the Union. NOW!!

      2. We need an overwhelming amount of good people to run in order to vote. You keep saying vote them out. That is the end result. First you need some one to run. Is that you?

      3. Vote with your money! (Move out of shit-hole metro areas so the tax ‘revenue’ base is displaced, because pervert, elitist bureaucrats won’t change their ways.)

  4. Why would any young person, newly graduated from college with an education degree, want to work for KUSD? Districts have to compete for teachers. The district will suffer for many years because it can not attract quality teachers.

  5. These schools are required to comply with Title IX, and giving their responses, I highly doubt they have met that obligation. The students and appearance need to file complaints with the US Department of education’s office for civil rights.

    1. That would be nice! We need to start being more pro active against these things happening in Kenosha County. The problem is…knowing where to legally start. I don’t mean protests (although, not a bad idea, like the recent one done), but I mean LEGALLY (like official filing of documents against these people) and having the people hold these teachers and officials accountable, especially when we know the DA won’t do it. The teachers can’t be recalled, but the school board can, right? Since they are voted in?

  10. With the KUSD it never stops from the school board to the overstaffed administration it’s a woke society.. that is destroying our education system and Kenosha if you’re a teacher or you’re black and you do something that deserves some type of termination, we just investigate and tell you to resign some of the stuff doesn’t even get reported to the police . what needs to happen is a complete review the way the KUSD .works from top to bottom.. too much nepotism in Kenosha if you’re a Mahone, you get jobs without interviewing because of your color, your skin.. With this new KIN, how are these people being hired? What is the process who’s paying them and who sent in the salaries Kevin can you look into this KIN?

    1. ALL of us should ban together and file a class action suit against DPI and KUSD! People need to pull their kids out of the public school system.

  11. What is the actual allegation in this case? What type of communications are we reading about here?

  12. So what’s the allegation or inappropriate contact? Being friends with students on social media?? Where’s the actual crime? You just ruined one of the few good black teachers we have…..

    I agree with everyone of your articles about:
    *Nathan Gardner
    *Melvin Tart
    *Michael Russell
    *Christian Enwright
    *Joseph Pitts
    *Montenia “Monte” Nelson
    *David DeBerge

    but this one? Yes he crossed the lines by add students on social media but that’s it

  13. Code of Silence.
    Law Enforcement (which really does not have one), but KUSD does.
    Pull your kids from public schools.

  14. Getting hot under the collar Neir and Weiss? All of us parents and community members are watching – ALL EYES ON KUSD!

    KUSD is just as bad as the Catholic Church (and I’m a Catholic), when the church looked the other way and moved pedo priests around – where they committed other places – this is just as bad, allowing pedos to “resign” where they go on to do it somewhere else (as in the case of the ITA pedo who resigned and went to 21st Century Prep).

    KUSD needs to INVESTIGATE (or have 3rd party investigate), notify parents and fire their pedos and parents to prosecute.
