  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.

      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 ?

  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!

  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.
