Jack Musha – Bristol School District Administrator

Jack Musha is out as the district administrator for Bristol School District #1. This follows a months-long investigation into him and his ex-wife, a former teacher at the one and only district school. KCE was told by parents that lawyers/investigators were in the school in the past few months asking questions about alleged misconduct by the Mushas.

Allegations were made that Stephanie Musha wasn’t performing her duties in line with policy. Her ex-husband, Jack Musha, was allegedly shielding her from any discipline. She resigned during the investigation.

Jack Musha has been absent from the first week or so of school for the last two or three years. He hasn’t been to school one day this school year. He began leave on the first day of school and hasn’t been to work and will not ever have been into work this school year and his last day is December 31, 2024. He doesn’t have to work from now until then, but will be paid.

According to an email sent on September 2, 2024 by Keri Heusdens, who proudly dispayer he pronouns in her email signature as “she/her/hers,” :

We ask that staff respect Jack’s privacy. We know many of you will want to wish him well of check on him’ however, we ask that you please refrain from emailing, calling or texting him on this matter. We are working on determining the length of his absence and will continue to update staff as we are able to. We appreciate your support and patience during this time.”

Keri Heusdens is the “Principal of Curriculum & Instruction” and Tom Blair is the “Principal of School Safety and Culture.” Musha was placed on a “board-approved leave” on or around September 30, 2024. KCE is told that this was similar to an “Administrative Leave.” Musha, over the last several years has taken many days off for unknown reasons. He has been paid for this entire school year, even though he hasn’t worked a day.

Kenosha County Eye has requested any and all internal and external investigations. We will share the results of the investigations when we receive them.

The district sent out the following yesterday:

“The Bristol School Board of Education would like to let you know that we have accepted Mr. Jack Musha’s voluntary resignation as our District Administrator, effective December 31st, 2024. Mr. Musha will remain on Board-approved leave until his resignation date. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the positive changes Mr. Musha has brought to our school during his tenure. We wish him all the best in this next chapter.

We expect Mr. Jim Feil to continue as our Interim District Administrator until a permanent administrator is selected. We would also like to extend our gratitude to our leadership team and entire staff, who have worked diligently to ensure students’ instructional needs are met during this season. 

After the New Year, we will be providing additional information regarding the selection process for a permanent administrator. The Board is committed to a rigorous process that involves various stakeholders to ensure we select a leader who will continue the tradition of excellence that defines Bristol School.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership.
Sincerely,

Bristol School Board of Education

Asked for comment, board president Tina Elfering released the following statement to KCE:

This was an HR-related issue – [Jack] voluntarily resigned, and safety was not an issue. The board has no further comment.

  1. Seems like lots of admin staff for a relatively small school. How many different principals are there?! If I was a Bristol taxpayer, I would be piiiiissssseeeedddddd.

    26
      1. Meaning it’s time to reevaluate job descriptions and duties.
        Are all those positions necessary ?
        Do each require full time hours ?
        Think of those job descriptions.
        Can you tell me that they are doing those jobs 8 hours a day ?

        12
  2. I’m pretty sure he was bullied out. If I was a tax payer I would want to know what they found. They spent enough on lawyers. A waste of Bristol money

    1. I’m pretty sure the real bullies have you deceived and you’ll be eating crow when KM posts the results from the FOI request.

      Speaking of FOI requests, KM can you FOI the events leading up to former principals Grafs resignation. I think former board members Butenhoff, Scheele, Bies and Kratowicz need a public expose on their blatant stupidity that has cost the Bristol taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in overstaffing, horrible decisions making, contract buyouts and legal fees.

        1. Bro mentioned legal fees. These legal fees are the direct result of horrible board members that bro listed. Butenhoff is a demon.

  3. Jack was an excellent administrator who was working at making Bristol something to be proud of once again. Stephanie was picking up slack where needed and helping out to get things done. It seems that they were both targeted for some reason. This result makes me sad for our school and our community. Bristol School will lose many talented educators and staff because they are not being supported and listened to.

  4. I would love to see a story with the number of administrative people, District Administrators, Principals, Vice Principal, Curriculum Director, Culture and Safety Director., Business Manager. Principal of student Discipline, etc, for all K-8 Schools. Also listing the number of students at each school.

  5. Hoarder (Salem) Lakes fireman filming videos with drones to harass property owners; Salem school teacher aid raping students (her son’s classmates), Salem Lakes maintenance supervisor operating a marine storage facility (pontoon boat) on taxpayer property; and now this in Bristol with the Mushas (not clear what this is all about).

    Kevin, we might need a scoresheet or advent calendar to keep track of all the names, places, and behaviors here. This is becoming very confusing. Kenosha corruption beginning to appear mundane, compared to the Bristol and Salem areas. (Might have to move back to Illinois).

    1. They need too clean house like the Salem people did with all the new elected officials in that town! They need to do the same with the school board!

    1. Hopefully Jarvis the fiscal hack that Salem was happy to get rid and the principal that goes by “she, her, hers”.

      Wonderful how Musha and the outgoing board renewed so many administrative contracts before the new board took over. Clowns with a taxpayer checkbook!

      Something else that is very childish is all the teachers that show “unity” by wearing matching colors at school board meetings. From what I understand the latest color was black to show support for Musha. They are going to have as much egg on their face as Butenhoff already does. Resignations just don’t happen without good reasons which we are going to know shortly thanks to KM, 🤣!! The group think, hive mind “educators” will owe the respectable women on the school board an apology when the truth comes out.

      Stephen Grimm didn’t motion to support the resignation after knowing the results of an investigation!?!?! Protecting misconduct?! Clearly, you support unethical behavior due to pressure from the local nut bags or those up to their eyes in corruption. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you owe the community an apology…. just resign, fool. PS nobody respects or befriends weak men, grow a pair.

      To all the school board members except Grime; Thank you for seeing things through and doing your part to help right the sunken ship caused by Kratowicz, Scheele, Bies, Saad, Woolard, Graf, Milz, Musha and wind bag Butenhoff.

        1. I believe KCE will be providing the information you are looking for as the there are FOIA requests for any and all internal and external investigations. Did you read the article or are you one of the “educators”? You are sad? Aww that’s too fucking bad. Go find a safe space with some play dough or maybe you can provide emotional support to Jack and help him find a new career.

  6. As a parent in Bristol, I have engaged in multiple discussions with Mr. Musha. While he articulates his ideas effectively, executing those ideas presents significant challenges. It appears that he cannot manage his responsibilities and ensure the smooth operation of the school. I believe the board has recognized this disparity between his statements and actions.

    Mr. Musha is skilled at calling referendums and making empty statements—nothing beyond that—and the community deserves better than that.

    Excellent work, Bristol School Board – you truly excelled!

    6
    1
  7. I see fraud all over this – $22 million referendum and then resigns?

    Ex-wife resigns?

    I hope the school board is investigating where those funds are or went.
