Just a hunch based on passed performance, I suspect the husband to be the problem here. 1st impression. Case closed.
Case closed on a hunch ? I think not counselor.
I know her. She is definitely not the problem.
John Wayne Gacy’s friends and neighbors said the same thing…
Why wouldn’t she still be on the job? She’s been arrested, not convicted, and it didn’t take place in a school. As much as Kenosha has been plagued with employees that never should have been hired and definitely shouldn’t have been kept, I don’t see a situation here where I could see firing her would not immediately bring lawsuits that we as taxpayers would end up paying. No, I’ve never met her and do not know her.
Bc people of influence over kids should be held at the highest standard
Lmao the downvotes are quite telling…no wonder why KUSD is such a shit show.
Then half the teachers should be fired for the crap they pulled during covid .
She hasn’t been convicted…
But she’s still a criminal. Can’t wait until she’s fired.
If they fire everyone who has a domestic violence issue a lot of people would be unemployed. If this was at school and a child? Of course that’s different. Hope they get the help they need
You must know a lot of trashy people
Where do these women find these men??
…….. in places where they go looking for them
Bro that’s my teacher what hell 😭
You are in danger
The way you target and tear others down is bullying. Please stop.
Your article headline is misleading and unfair. She is an excellent educator, and using her mistake to create a distorted narrative is irresponsible. Your headline is intentionally deceptive and suggests something that didn’t occur.
If you held yourself to the standards you demand of others, your words would reflect honesty and integrity. Instead, you continue a pattern of tearing people down, and that speaks for itself.
Integrity is what you do when nobody is watching.
Its news, suck it up butter cup!
I know her. She is definitely not the problem.
Amen!!!!
There are many more teachers and staff at Bradford with worse rap sheets than hers, so if she gets fired, she should sue.
Fire her? No, unless she’s found guilty.
Administrative leave? Absolutely.
Deserves to be fired.
She clearly has anger issues, she shouldn’t be around kids. As we all know they’ll push your buttons. I’d hate to see her lash out on a child. Fire her or I will
How will you fire her?
Ok buddy sit down
Not enough information given to claim she should be suspended.
typical KUSD hire
Employers are significantly restricted under the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act (WFEA) in how they may use an individual’s “arrest record” to make an employment decision. The WFEA defines “arrest record” expansively as: “information indicating that an individual has been questioned, apprehended, taken into custody or detention, held for investigation, arrested, charged with, indicted or tried for any felony, misdemeanor or other offense pursuant to any law enforcement or military authority.”
Employers are still permitted to refuse employment or to terminate an employee who was arrested for an offense if the employer conducted its own independent investigation of the circumstances of the arrest and if the employer is genuinely satisfied as a result of that investigation that the employee committed the act for which they were arrested and that such an act violates the employer’s policies or expectations. The key factor for this exception to apply is that the investigation must be truly independent and cannot merely rely upon a police report or an arresting officer’s assurance that the individual will be found guilty. At a minimum, an employer would need to interview the employee or other witnesses to determine whether the misconduct occurred. potential criminal matters, which informs employees of their duty to cooperate with their employer’s investigation but that the information provided to the employer cannot be shared with law enforcement.
Domestic violence could be you telling someone to shut the fuck up so maybe we need more information before jumping to conclusions!
You win the stupidest comment award.
And if anyone thinks to comes in these comments and paint her out to be a bad person. I’m shutting down that rn. As her former student she is a very sweet individual who has been a shoulder to cry on, an ear hear to listen, and a healer. You don’t find many comfort teachers that one just love their job but love their kids even harder as if they are their own. I don’t know why you would think she would be fired? The situation didn’t involve a student there. But she’s not another fallen staff member on the list.
LMAO yeah, she sounds so sweet. Bahahaha she got arrested- she’s a degenerate loser who needs to lose her job. 😊
Bro shut up
You’re correct. She’s an awesome person and a true professional.
“A true professional”
Hahahahaha!!!!!
I don’t think there’s enough facts here to judge whether this woman loses her job or not…..just saying
She was arrested. That’s enough facts needed.
As that guy said on poyner’s article, ahem, “kys make this public.”
Yeah but let’s not talk about other school to tho
