A Kenosha Unified School District “Bilingual Community Liaison” and former School Board Member Tony Garcia was terminated by the Kenosha School District from his job at Indian Trail High School. On November 14, 2024, he was placed on administrative leave. KCE is told that Garcia was allegedly acting very inappropriately with a minor high school girl.

“Tony Garcia was terminated effective Nov. 22, 2024,” said Tanya Ruder, KUSD’s Chief of Communication. KCE also learned that the Kenosha Police Department was contacted and initiated an investigation. A Kenosha Police Detective found probable cause that a crime occurred and referred at least one criminal charge to the Kenosha DA’s office.

KCE contacted Mike Graveley (D), Kenosha County’s outgoing DA. We asked him if his office will be charging this case, or if he will send it to a neighboring community. He refused comment.
Garcia has worked for many schools in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Garcia served one term on the Kenosha Unified School District and decided to not seek re-election. He later ran again and lost. He also unsuccessfully ran for Mayor of Kenosha this year. He is a seasonal employee of the City’s department of public works.

KCE also made contact with mayor Bogdala. We asked him if these allegations would have an affect on Garcia’s City employment. Bogdala didn’t care to comment. He and Garcia are friends. Garcia even endorsed Bogdala for mayor.
Kenosha’s City Administrator John Morrissey did speak with us and told us that Garcia isn’t a current employee of the City and as with all seasonal employees, he would need to apply for the job next year. Asked if charges and/or convictions would play a role in Garcia’s re-hiring, Morrissey said it would depend on the severity and nature of the convictions, if any occur.
Once there is a decision to charge Garcia or not, you’ll read it here first.

Maybe kpd “found the smoking gun” on the third try again. U get 3 tries in baseball too I guess…
When is KUSD planning to implement any vetting process in its hiring decisions? Are we up to 12 KUSD teachers/employees in 1.5 years who have been charged or terminated because of illegal sexual behavior with minor children now? KUSD takes the biggest portion of our property taxes & there’s no accountability! The arrogance of this taxpayer-funded organization is staggering.
These things take time. Gosh. What are you, as child? Everyone is so used to instant gratification that they forget that governance takes time to adjust and rectify policies once they are already in place.
Calm down, they are not wrong to be upset. Your lack of concern is, well, concerning.
Groomer?
Personnel director at KUSD .
You sound like a teacher, with your admonition . Prove me wrong , and show your work .
Oh it’s more than 12…. It was 12 just last year
Terminated until it’s changed to RESIGNED. How many were changed to resigned after they “fired” them allowing these teachers, coaches, administrators, etc…to just go on their merry way to get rehired down the road?
He’s probably still getting paid.
KUSD can vet all they want, however if there isn’t anything that comes back on the background check and if they have done this previously and no charges were files by our crappy DA, then they will hire them!
I’m just surprised that KUSD actually fired him, instead of letting him resign like they have done with so managed others that we have read about!!
The City would be hypocritical if they don’t hire him back as a seasonal employee.
They gave Morrissey the job of police chief and then hired him back as the city administrator even though he has a fake college degree.
Just wait until Morrissey is County Executive, yikes.
RPKC better find someone good to primary Kerkman, because she doesn’t stand an effing chance. She’s a disaster and a half.
Don’t forget that he’s also on the County Board, District 9 . He’s a parasite.
That principal is the WORST!!!
How is this the principal’s fault? Do you think he vets and performs background checks?
It’s no more his fault for this than the cop missing the gun by the kids nutsack.
This is an HR and moral failure of the teacher. Not Scott Kennow.
Regardless of duties- when you’re the leader, it’s always your fault.
And hence one of the many problems with the world today. Instead of being pissed at the idiot who actually did it, the blame goes to the principal.
I can’t even imagine having to deal with the BS of being the principal at any school let alone Indian Trail. They couldn’t pay me enough.
Actually that’s how it should be. If one wants the title they must accept the responsibility that goes with it- manage your people well or lose it.
Thank you Scott.
KUSD is a complete joke. I’d like to know Scott’s stance on boys being allowed in the girls bathroom and locker rooms and boys playing in girls sports. Has he ever said or commented on that issue? Cause now we have it here in Kenosha. A principal being quiet and toeing the line for these whack jobs isn’t what we need.
That’s not up to the building principal, there are WIAA standards, and you can guarantee downtown would make that determination.
In a way I have to feel a little sorry for Tanya Ruder for having to address the shenanigans of so many KUSD employees. That said, she’s only the PR person and so she has no authority to deal with them. I’m guessing what she’d like to do to some of them and I wouldn’t blame her for thinking that.
Feel sorry for her? She has NO problem cashing her KUSD checks.
Another Indian trail issue, I think this school needs to be closed and all fired and start over, seems to be a real issue, this needs to stop!
It’s not the school that is at fault!! KUSD places the teachers where there are open positions! For whatever reason, all the pervs seem to end up at ITA!!!
And ITA is so proud that they were #1 in the state & largest high school. Instead of working on numbers they should be working on staff!
All part of the corruption
KUSD in the news again. What a corrupt and criminal organization good thing idiots like Landry were elected to do absolutely nothing. Shut the whole system down! From groomers, to violence, predators, and guns in school, bunch of cowards in the school board! I pay taxes for this shit!!!
Laundry’s husband is a sex offender why would she care?!!!
And yet these crazy groomer lefties STILL voted her in!
Homeschool
Then stop paying taxes, make a statement
Superintendent has final say
Nice job Tony, you raised a loser son and now your arrogant ass is put on blast. Let’s hope there is enough to bring charges. To think this dip shit ran for mayor is hilarious. You are not even worthy to clean the sewers for DPW. Fire his ass immediately!
What loser son?
Who’s the anonymous shit face talking shit. Put your name on your comment! Don’t be scared. You have a lot to say but no name.
LMAO Tony’s peeps are class acts
Your a BITCH!!!!!
Hector Torres bitch
Who you calling a bitch !!
You Hispanics are so tough
have another drink Danny boy
He’s not wrong
Are any of you Mexicans posting on here even fucking legal?
I was just wondering, are you legal and there is a lot of Mexicans that are legal just saying
Yeah I’m legal….and I don’t commit crimes, burrito.
Well if we tell you… you white people are going to snitch and deport us ….
The ones you are calling out aren’t posting anonymously. Maybe you’re here illegally?
That’s entirely inappropriate
Not a surprise wonder if anyone else will come forward. See how they cover this one up.
It’s obviously NOT COVERED UP we can all see the situation
What even is a Bilingual Community Liaison? Sounds like a made up position.
Wow you and your cult of Stupid people who don’t know how to look up something on the internet is very fascinating and should be studied…. Let me help you out
Step 1 • Go to google.com.
• Type what you want to search for in the search bar (e.g., “weather today,”what is a community liaison ?”)
Definition: A Community Bilingual Liaison is a professional who bridges communication and cultural gaps between an organization (like a school, hospital, or community service agency) and individuals who speak different languages. They typically serve as a link to ensure that everyone can understand, participate, and access resources effectively, regardless of language or cultural barriers.
I’m glad I can help enducate you if you need more help please post more stupid comments and I’ll help you
I have an idea, learn fucking ENGLISH or go back to Mexico. Problem solved and I just saved KUSD $60k a year paying this ‘professional’
Your dumb ass hell we dont have to is that your problem
Go back to school, folks these clowns are the product of KUSD. Gabe you proud of your daddy?
Just another Democrat democrating.
KUSD should be liable for hiring these perverts, sue the school district for civil damages.
Feliz Navidad Tony! Good luck running for mayor in the future now the entire city knows you’re a sick pervert.
I got yo back bitch!
No comment by Gravely is actually a comment on how this is going to work.
Don’t forget that he’s also on the County Board, District 9 . He’s a parasite.
Didn’t KUSD just approved boys allowed in the girls bathrooms and locker rooms and boys allowed to play in girls sports? KUSD is a joke. Very disturbing you have this guy missing around with minor kids and now they want boys and the girls bathrooms. I’m sure they’ll have those tampon machines up in the boys bathroom very soon.
At this point, you have to assume KUSD is 100% pro-pedo. You can’t have this many instances happen in this short of time unless the culture is promoting it. And how many would we know about if it wasn’t for this publication. The government education system is an evil organization like most of government these days. If you love your children, plan accordingly.
Didn’t you Mr matthewson in a city council meeting regarding licensing go back 20 years rebutting me getting my liquor license. Effectively committing a misdemeanor outlined in the paperwork that you provided that City council. You see there’s Justice and there’s just us. I got my liquor license that day and I got my rights violated in the process.
There won’t be a charge for this, and I don’t even know what “this” is exactly. They could barely scrape up Disorderly Conduct charges on that pedophile Enwright.
He was fired for doing something with a student he shouldn’t have. Whether that something is criminal is yet to be determined.
Kevin Mathewson needs to run for Mayor of Kenosha, you got my vote.
Back in my day, we knew what people were superior. now all these illegals invading this country, this is the result of our weak border Biden!!!. This country has gone soft now, letting colored folks twist tradition and morals. If we don’t get back to basics of keeping the bloodline pure. the whole darn world is gonna collapse! You can call me old-fashioned, but I say it’s high time we stopped letting the darkies run the asylum. its the taco mucnhers that are groping our little kids. It’s time for a real awakening, and it starts with taking a hard look in the slums and remembering what made this country strong! THE WHITES!!
Please shut up, your ignorance is an embarrassment to all white people.
You sound like a liberal. You know, the original party of the KKK (look up Senator Robert Byrd, Clinton’s mentor).
You need to BURN IN HELL you racist BITCH!!!! Or better yet go KILL yourself white trash!!!!!
Kenosha bootleg news
FREE Mr kingpin till it backwards💯
What was Garcia terminated for? Any new details ?
