  1. Obviously, goes without saying….pedos and groomers will be moved to the front of the line regardless of experience or education.

  2. Historically one of the problems with KUSD committees is that volunteers who give their time and talent are often ignored.

    1. That’s concerning, to say the least. Why do you have cheese on your nuts? Might want to get that one looked at.

  3. Not a paid position? Why not? The administration makes WAAAAY too much money! Come on people…spread the wealth! 😂

  4. Why bother? Pull your kids from public school and demand your tax dollars go to the school of your choice. Public school taxes is theft of your hard earned money!

  5. The third Friday in September is the main count day for Wisconsin DPI. If you want to hit KUSD where it hurts, keep your kid home that day AND tell them why, when you call your kid in. “My child is staying home today because KUSD chooses to spend my tax dollars employing pedophiles, drunks, and other criminals.”

  6. Maybe call up the parents of the 100 plus kids who choose to open enroll in the county? I’m sure there is a reason KUSD is losing so many kids.
