Kenosha, Wis. — A group of outraged parents at Washington Middle School in the Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD) demanded accountability after it was revealed that 7th-grade teacher Alyssa L. Jurasik remains on the KUSD payroll—even as damning evidence from a recent criminal investigation and conviction paints a disturbing picture of her alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

KCE published a story on February 24, 2025. On February 21, 2025, we asked KUSD Superintendent Jeff Weiss why he allowed Jurasik to teach students after her criminal history was discovered. That same day, according to a KUSD Spokesperson, Juraski was placed on leave.

“The district was made aware of concerns on Friday, Feb. 21, 2025, and immediately launched a thorough investigation. As part of this process, the individual was placed on paid leave on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025. We are unable to share further details regarding this ongoing personnel matter,” said Tanya Ruder, Chief Communications Officer for KUSD.

A Troubling Criminal History

On February 24, 2023, 24-year-old Jurasik was charged with three serious felonies: maintaining a drug trafficking place, possession with intent to deliver significant quantities of THC, and possession of narcotic drugs. The charges carried a potential sentence of 13 years in prison. Detailed law enforcement reports describe a complex investigation involving intercepted packages, controlled deliveries, and a series of incriminating text messages that not only connected Jurasik to a drug network but also implicated her in selling controlled substances—allegedly even to a student who later died from an overdose.

Evidence That Raises Alarms

According to court documents and investigative reports, Jurasik’s alleged activities included:

  • Drug Trafficking Operations: Extensive surveillance and digital evidence linked her to a network that moved hundreds of grams of THC products, with transactions coordinated over text messages and social media.
  • Direct Involvement in Sales: Text conversations between Jurasik and an associate reveal discussions about pricing, product quantities, and the logistics of drug delivery. In one instance, she even bragged about handling transactions that allegedly contributed to a fatal overdose.
  • A Lenient Legal Outcome: Despite the weight of the evidence, Jurasik pleaded guilty to lesser charges—possession of a controlled substance, possession of THC, and possession of drug paraphernalia—and was sentenced to only one year of probation by judge Dougvillo. Shockingly, her criminal record appears to have left no mark on her personnel file. This reduced charge was authorized by former assistant district attorney Sydney Starr, under the leadership of former DA Michael Graveley.

Questions for the Kenosha Unified School District

The decision to allow a teacher with such a controversial and dangerous background to remain in the classroom has left many parents and community members reeling. Critics argue that KUSD has not only failed to safeguard its students but also undermined public trust in its hiring and disciplinary processes.

One local parent expressed the community’s frustration:

“It is unacceptable that someone with clear evidence of involvement in drug trafficking is entrusted with our children’s education. Our kids deserve a safe learning environment, and the district’s inaction is a blatant disregard for their well-being.”

KUSD Superintendent Jeff Weiss has stated that the matter has been referred to human resources for review. However, to date, no disciplinary action has been announced—a delay that has only deepened the concerns of Washington Middle School families.

A Call for Accountability

The incident has sparked a broader debate about the standards applied to educators and the measures in place to protect students from potential harm. Community members are calling for a thorough review of the district’s policies, demanding transparency and decisive action. They insist that allowing someone with such serious allegations to continue teaching sends a dangerous message—not only about the value placed on student safety but also about the district’s commitment to upholding moral and ethical standards.

As the investigation and internal review continue, parents remain on high alert. They urge school officials to act swiftly to restore public confidence and ensure that those responsible for educating the next generation adhere to the highest standards of conduct.

The situation at Washington Middle School is a stark reminder that accountability and transparency are essential in our schools—values that, many argue, have been compromised in this case.

    1. Trash. Typical KUSD education— or, lack thereof.

  10. Second criminal kusd teacher in as little as a week in the news. How many more do you think there are with direct access to our kids. Both with easy to find history of criminal behavior so they can’t use the excuse there was no way to know. It’s either they are too lazy to look or don’t care. All while using our kids as prawns to try and take more money from the tax prayers under the guise of safety for our kids. We have pediphiles, drug addicts,
    physical abusers….. who all have access to our kids because kusd, the school board and the teachers union turn a blind eye to the abusers. They don’t have control of the budget, they missused the essor funds, they don’t have control over who is teaching or kids or what they are teaching them. Yet we still have people in the public whining about the referendum not passing. Wake up. The rest of us who are not blind see it. We need change, we need it broadly across the board and we need it now. Be as passionate about the real threat to our children and problems like this as you were about them not getting the additional $115,000,000 they don’t deserve. The good teachers and our children deserve it and should be our number one priority which means we need an overhaul in the kusd.

  11. I just received a KUSD notice about a “Districtwide Black History Bee”.
    This is the nonsense KUSD wastes time and energy on.
    I teach my kids Viking history of plundering weak Western Europeans and discovering America.
    I teach them their maternal Spanish history or conquering, civilizing and bringing Jesus to half the world.
    Teach your race pride on your own dam time!

  12. Person in charge of hiring these teachers and subs needs to go…that teacher at Bradford was being investigated at previous school…one lil phone call for referral would of cleared that up and this drug dealer at washington…come on..a student possibly over dosing on her batch. .not acceptable..ya dang right unified AND administration needs a house cleaning…
