KUSD has been marred and embarrassed by scandal after scandal lately. Sexual assault, grooming, and so much more on many occasions. Weiss seems to sympathize with teachers who sexually assault, harass, and groom our children. We gave him an opportunity to clear the air on his leadership style.

        1. OMG. I have to say one of my favorite Michael Moore segments was when he was goading the CEO’s of GM, Chrysler and Ford to come outside and do an oil change.

          GM and Chrysler’s blew him off.

          Ford had a better idea. The guy came down, out on a shop coat and did the oil change, instructing Moore and his viewers in the process!!! Fun TV.

  1. Jeff Weiss was hired at South Milwaukee in 2019 and apparently had a very short run there. Previously, he had experience in a small K-8 district and Racine Unified.

    Racine Unified.

    If you want to see deck chairs on the Titanic, go to Racine Unified.

  2. Wisconsin law (48.981(2)) requires that any mandated reporter who has reasonable cause to suspect that a child seen by the person in the course of professional duties has been abused or neglected, or who has reason to believe that a child seen by the person in the course of professional duties has been threatened with abuse or neglect and that abuse or neglect of the child will occur, make a report to county CPS or law enforcement.

    In addition, Wisconsin law (175.32) requires that any mandated reporter who believes in good faith, based on a threat made by an individual seen in the course of professional duties regarding violence in or targeted at a school, that there is a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of a student or school employee or the public, make a report to law enforcement.

    The professionals named as mandated reporters in the Wisconsin Statutes 48.981 (2) are as follows:

    Physicians
    Coroners
    Medical examiners
    Nurses
    Dentists
    Chiropractors
    Optometrists
    Acupuncturists
    A medical or mental health professional not otherwise specified in this list
    Social workers
    Marriage & family therapists
    Professional counselors
    Public assistance workers, including a financial and employment planner, as defined in s49.141(1) (d), Statutes
    School teachers
    School administrators
    School counselors
    School employees not otherwise specified in this list
    Mediators under s.767.405, Statutes
    Child-care workers in a child care center, group home, or residential care center for children and youth
    Child care providers
    Alcohol or other drug abuse counselors
    Members of the treatment staff employed by or working under contract with a county department under s. 46.23, 51.42, or 51.437, Statutes, or a residential care center for children and youth
    Physical therapists
    Physical therapist assistants
    Occupational therapists
    Dieticians
    Speech-language pathologists
    Audiologists
    Emergency medical technicians
    First responders
    Police or law enforcement officers
    Court-appointed special advocates (CASA) (except as provided in sub s. 48.981(2m) and (2r))
    Clergy (specific requirements and exceptions found under s.48.981(2)(bm)1-3)
    Juvenile correctional officers
    In addition, the professionals named as mandated reporters in the Governor’s Executive Order #54 are as follows:

    University of Wisconsin System (UWS) Professors
    UWS Administrators
    UWS Coaches
    All other UWS Employees

    Reports of suspected child abuse and neglect can be made to the county where the child resides or to the law enforcement of where the possible abuse and/or neglect occurred. Reports of suspected school violence must be made to law enforcement.

    Persons making reports in good faith are immune from criminal or civil liability.
    A person who is mandated to report suspected child abuse or neglect will be informed by the county what action, if any, was taken to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the child who is the subject of the report.
    Penalty: Persons required to report, who intentionally fail to report suspected child abuse or neglect or threats of school violence may be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 6 months or both. (s. 48.981(6))

    There seems to be a lot to process above but not really. School personnel are mandatory child abuse and school safety reporters. The hard question for KUSD is what is being done to ensure that all school staff, including administrators, comply with the law. (In the process don’t forget the school safety part.)

    1. It would seem that many people in KUSD are shirking their responsibilities. But remember, it’s all about the students, right ?

  4. Really !!!!!
    This guy needs to resign.

    His decision to not answer these questions that are his responsibility is enough to fire him !

    For all of you that want to fix this, just run school board candidates against all existing board incumbents who chose to run again.

    While there may be one or two who are on our side, where are they on calling for this guys firing ??

  5. “Mr. Weiss chose not to answer this question.”

    It would be interesting the see the full job description that Mr. Weiss was hired for. Perhaps Mr. Weiss is not capable of communicating with the citizens and taxpayers of Kenosha?

    And the same goes for Tanya Ruder who is tasked with communications and posts this on LInkedIn:
    “Communications executive with experience leading a team dedicated to partnering with all functions of the organization to clearly and accurately communicate with both internal and external audiences.”

    No doubt the School Board is responsible for performance reviews for both individuals who seem to avoid answering questions.

    1
    1. Weiss is such an enormous liar! I spoke to him about something regarding school policy and he told me one thing and then did another. I can’t even stand to look at his picture!

  6. Agreed. He is the leader of the school district and he is too fucking uppity to answer questions about some serious issues? Fuck him.

    1. They stop being issues, when they start involving minors.
      They then become full blown PROBLEMS.
      Stop using PC terms to soften the seriousness of situations.

  7. His wife probably told him not to answer any questions. OR ELSE!
    Or, he simply doesn’t have the balls to take charge of
    anything other than doing dishes, or laundry.

  8. Kevin, You need to learn that Jews do not need to answer to the Goyam. Just like a tick, flea or lamprey doesn’t ask permission of its host to leach off.

    Now, Guys like Weiss ( The Jew Hive Mind)are passing laws to make criticizing them illegal and they will use our laws against us. Yes it’s happening folks, you can have free speech until you call out the “Jew” then there is no free speech and peaceful campus protests must be shut down.

    John 8:44 for all you Christians . Research it.

    1. Up late, stewing in anti-semitism? I guess it’s OK for Hamas followers to murder 1200 Jews in a couple of hours of terror on October 7? God loves all his children and has an eternal covenant with the Children of Abraham. As Christians, we are asked to love all our fellow human beings. How do you know Weiss is Jewish? I know a Weiss who is a gentile. Weiss means “white” in German, by the way, and it was the gullible Germans who fell for Hitler’s garbage. just like you. The World War two generation excused themselves with “Wir haben dass nicht gewusst”, which is “we didn’t know that about the Jews.” Weiss appears to be an incompetent, education bureaucrat, steeped in good intentions and poor results. It has nothing to do with his ethnic and religious background.

      Most pro Hamas protesters couldn’t find Gaza on a map, if they were looking at a map of Gaza. j

      Lucky for you and your hate that there are barely enough Jews in our community to make a minyan. I looked up the passage in the Gospel of John and don’t see its relevance to your hatred. You can look up minyan.

      1. Not too late really. I was spewing the truth and we know the truth is “anti-semetic” which is a funny term because Jews aren’t even descendants of Shem where Sem is derived from. Hamas follower? No, but that was a great attempt at labeling me and others that don’t support genocide. Kind of like how the media tries to do with anyone that doesn’t support that little shit stain/terror state. Are you aware Israel the terror state created and funds Hamas?!?! Need a video link? Are you aware of how tight the border around that little terror state is?!?! Do you really believe that they just forgot to secure their border? They false flagged themselves as a reason to genocide all the people of that open air prison called Palestine whom by the way are mostly children. Jared Kushner even discussed how valuable that waterfront property could be. Same playbook as Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and many more, you probably believe whatever the media tells you to believe so here you are defending the literal serpents. Did you get your latest booster shot for Kosher 19? Mossad motto: “Through deception, thou shalt make war” Read all of John 8 using a KJV. BTW, Pharisee = Jew so you can follow along.

        I too know Weis (Gentile) as well as Weiss (Jew). This particular Weiss is a degenerate which leads me to believe he’s a Jew because they are degenerates as a whole.

        It’s the craziest thing in the world for lukewarm warm Christians to literally defend the Synagogue of Satan that your own Savior warned you about through the Gospel and again in Revelation. You are essentially asking for Barabus. There is no such thing as Judeo/Christianity either. You sir, are a fool and if you think WW2 was won by the good guys you are wrong, take a look at the world: open borders, debt slavery, degenerate culture that pushes trans, pedo, occult etc. Our US ancestors gave their lives to have their country turned into a land of queers/pedos/faggots only 80 years after “winning”?

        General George Patton: “We defeated the wrong enemy”. He was fooled and later realized it then died pretty quickly after stating the truth or “antisemitism” as you would call it. There is still hope for you, read John 8. They are the same now as they were then, there is nothing new under the sun.

        1
        2
        1. John 8;44, because it’s over 2000 years old and has gone through many translations, as has many complicated passages. Scholars aren’t settled as to where it really fits in the timeline of the Gospel stories. I will leave my interpretation as JC was frustrated with the Jewish leaders who didn’t believe JC was the Messiah. HE knew HE was, and said so very forcefully. It’s a real stretch to condemn all the children of Israel for the past 2000 years and into eternity, as you do. I don’t know where you learned your Christianity or your history. I’d just like to know which church I should avoid, without hating its members.
          As for Patton, he was a bombastic fellow, wasn’t he? I met many “patriotic” nazi soldiers in my youth in Brazil. They said that we Americans should’ve joined up with them to repel the Russians. Yes, the Russians created a despotic empire called the “Soviet Union”, but the reality at the time was we had an alliance with Russia in order to defeat the Germans, and we wouldn’t have done it without the Russians. Patton wanted to take Berlin, rather than let the Russians do it, even though the end result of the war had already been agreed upon by Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill. Patton was a valued commander, but he would’ve been a disaster if he were in charge of the Allies on the Western Front, and, by the way, it was Eisenhower who went to Dachau and other concentration camps and had movies made of him there for posterity, to remind haters like you, that millions of Jews were innocent victims of Hitler’s genocide. The Russians lost 100,000 soldiers taking Berlin. Would you have put on the uniform and lost your life to satisfy Patton’s massive ego? Eisenhower wrote in his autobiography that he feared people might forget in the future what he had seen with his own eyes. I’ve been to Auschwitz, and I find your anti-Semitic drivel without merit, especially masking it with your particular interpretation of John. Jesus Christ loves you, me, and the Children of Abraham, too.

  9. Just like the no side teeth mention on the selffie, it strikes me odd that he doesnt wear cufflinks. bright, jeweled ones?? I am Being petty.

  10. This is brilliant and portrays so well, just how pusillanimous Weiss is. He is content with his massive salary and because he has no chance of being fired, he has zero incentive to respond to your questions or to questions of the many parents whose children are harmed by these pedophiles! If the parents don’t finally step up and admonish him, the school principals, resource officers, etc. and the school board members who keep these miscreants in place, then I guess you want your children to be victims. A school district that turns a blind eye to porn in the libraries, gay clubs, LGBQRSTUV flags in the classrooms and radical gender ideology, will also turn a blind eye to these predatory school teachers and staff. It is beyond sickening

  11. We still need an article about paid “child support” when it is used for everything but the child(ren) ……. and what’s being done about it.
    Ask why “child support” is used for alcohol, drugs, expenses of “boyfriends”, etc.
    ……… and see who “chooses not to answer that question”.

    1
    1
  12. Some are ignorant on here! Who gives a F about his wife….let’s stick with the problems here! Protect the children smfh.

    1. We sometimes add the silly because the main topic/s are so astounding that we can’t get a grip on it. The silly is a pressure valve. Not to worry tho, we can do serious and silly at one time. Yes we can multi task. I do wanna kno however why, with salary and unbelievable benefits, that she has no side teeth.

  13. There needs to be a second tier of sex offender- one who failed to protect children —- call it the WEISS law —- anyone on the list is banned from working around children for life

    1
    2
  14. Kevin, Thank you! Your journalism on this problem deserves national attention! It’s one thing to be shamed by the local community but it’s another to be shamed nation wide. This should be shocking news that all of these child endangerment incidents are seemingly being swept under the rug but we’ve become numb to the corruption. KUSD is rotten to the core! I hope the main stream media shines the spotlight on Jeff Weiss & the rest of the rats!

  15. This was an awesome job answering all of your questions. Really can’t wait to hear more from him!
