KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County Eye has learned that Bradford High School teacher Jennifer Sepanski (D) admitted that KUSD administrators directed teachers to publicly support the district's failed $115 million referendum. In private Facebook messages to a local hate blogger, Sepanski also revealed that administrators authorized the use of a school building for referendum campaign photographs. The disclosure comes as KUSD explores another referendum for April 2027, despite voters rejecting its previous request. Sepanski was previously the subject of Kenosha County Eye reporting concerning her apparent support of now-fired basketball coach Montenia "Monte" Nelson, who was investigated for alleged grooming-like behavior involving female students.
