— The Indian Trail High School art teacher who was previously reprimanded for keeping a hidden bed inside a locked storage closet and misleading administrators has officially resigned from his position
effective at the end of the current school year
Cabal II submitted a resignation letter dated April 17
to Indian Trail Principal Scott Kennow and Kenosha Unified School District Superintendent Dr
Cabal stated his intention not to return for the 2025–2026 academic year and confirmed his final day of employment will be the last day of his current contract
“This was not a decision I made lightly,” Cabal wrote in the letter
“I have greatly valued my time at Indian Trail High School
Cabal’s resignation follows a bizarre disciplinary episode that began in December 2024
when school security staff discovered a suspiciously unsecured hallway door near Cabal’s classroom
Behind the door was a locked storage closet
which had been barricaded from the inside using an “Alice” rope — a type of emergency lockdown tool
The closet was accessible only from Cabal’s classroom and had been kept locked from general access
Cabal initially denied that the bed existed
After being told that security footage might be reviewed
he admitted to lying and claimed the bed was used to take naps during his lunch break or after school hours
While investigators found no evidence that students had entered the specific closet containing the bed
a separate discovery raised additional concerns
Principal Kennow opened another storage closet and found three students inside
and the third was engaged in another activity
None of the students were being monitored by Cabal at the time
Cabal was issued a formal letter of reprimand
The district cited him for “insubordinate conduct towards a supervisor” and “providing false statements to your supervisor or during an investigation.” Despite those violations
he was returned to classroom duties that same day
The decision sparked debate among some staff and parents over whether the disciplinary response was sufficient
particularly in light of the additional concern regarding student supervision
Cabal had reportedly remained under close scrutiny following his return to teaching
Though no further incidents were disclosed publicly
his continued presence in the classroom remained controversial for some within the school community
His resignation letter did not mention any of the disciplinary issues and instead framed his decision as personal and reflective
“I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition during the remainder of the school year,” he wrote
“I am happy to cooperate in any way possible to minimize disruption to the students and the school.”
Cabal began teaching at Indian Trail in 2022
His departure brings an end to one of the more unusual personnel matters in recent years at Kenosha Unified
and student supervision issues that drew widespread attention
It remains unknown whether Cabal plans to seek another teaching role or change professions entirely

This bald bastard doesn’t look creepy at all
If I had a dollar for every story they started with Indian Trail
I think he was referring to the poster saying replace Indian Trail with KUSD
lying to superiors and not supervising students… This guy is a teacher
Someone who is supposed to help mold young minds
Sounds like the opposite of a teacher to me
I can only imagine the kind of verbal interaction he has with his students
Sounds like we have a culture problem with this many thumbs down
There is something missing and he’s not gonna tell on himself
Leaving the job before it hits the fan is a good idea
Resignation letter “enjoyed my rest at Indian Trail I will grab my blankets and leave.”
and I would have never permitted a colleague to spend a single minute with the kids in our school going forward had a similar set of circumstances occurred in our school
Either he stays away…or we lock him in that closet while we all take turns covering his class
To let him back with the kids….and allow him to resign….only means this punk POS gets a job in another District to restart his grooming process in another community
What a gutless and cowardly set of decisions made by Jeffrey Weiss and his Stooges down at the ESC
… people (employees) in the public sector are being allowed to resign instead of being fired
So that their resumes don’t show the negative
KUSD is colluding with all these employees to perpetuate the bad behavior and sending these bad apples down the road with nothing on their permanent records
THIS IS WHY KEVIN MATHEWSON IS SO IMPORTANT !!!!
You’re not getting this kind of reporting up and down the dial
The third student was involved in another activity
What is it with Indian Trail….who is responsible for hiring there……need to re-evaluate some of these positions with administration…you could probably balance our budget with the elimination of some if the office personnel on 52nd…

Indian Trail Improvement District Supervisor Richard Vassalotti makes no bones about being on a mission to cut down traffic injuries and fatalities on ITID’s 458 miles of roads
The retired Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue captain said he saw too much of it during his years on a fire engine
Much if it was caused by a lack of four-way stop signs and visible two-way stops
April 16 meeting of the ITID Board of Supervisors
Vassalotti took a step forward in that mission by getting the board to approve 50 solar-powered
LED stop signs with flashing red lights at a cost of approximately $60,000
It’s imperative we put up LED stop signs,” Vassalotti told fellow supervisors
It would be one heck of a great way to make the roads safer out here.”
The board also agreed to add signage that reads: “Two-Way Traffic.”
Supervisor Betty Argue pointed out that the district already is $20,000 over budget for road signs in fiscal year 2025
“Maybe we have a discussion about what other places the signs need to be… and that can go into our [fiscal year 2026] budget planning discussions,” said Argue
who also expressed concern that none of the LED signs were for intersections in the area known as the M-2
She said the intersection of West Alan Black and Cheetham Hill boulevards is especially dangerous
An ITID staff report said the choice of locations was based on those intersections reported by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office as repeat accident locations
a computer-generated accident study and ITID’s prevailing lane study
No intersections in the M-2 were identified in those studies as needing that sort of signage
Vassalotti said more four-way stops are needed on main roads
thus the county has control over signage on them
“I ran mostly for these stop signs to happen
and to bridge the gap between ITID and the county,” he said
ITID staff noted that there are 1,500 stop signs in the district
and that replacing them all with LED signs would cost more than $1 million
and we must do whatever is within our power to do,” ITID President Elizabeth Accomando said this week
“But we can put up all the signs and speed bumps we want
and people still are not stopping for stop signs
“I can’t say enough about how professional and organized they were,” Supervisor Patricia Farrell said of the students
“I’m really excited we could get the students involved in this.”
Committee Member Charlie James told the supervisors
James said vehicles often speed by horses and riders at 50 to 60 miles per hour
“It’s way too dangerous on the roads out here.”
“It really disappointed me that no members of the public took part,” Accomando said after the tour
“If no one from the public cares enough to come out
spend a little time and learn about the parks
it makes me wonder if we should be spending all this money on parks.”
Parks & Recreation Director Kenneth Lawrence has said that approximately $5 million will be needed in the near future to maintain and upgrade ITID’s 11 parks and their support infrastructure

Palm Springs police reopened North Indian Canyon Drive through the Whitewater Wash on Monday afternoon
a few hours after they did the same with Gene Autry Trail
Both roads had been closed Sunday because of strong winds that created blowing sand
a frequent occurrence in recent weeks that has led to several such closures
While conditions were deemed safe enough for the roads to reopen
more windy weather was expected in the Whitewater Wash area Monday afternoon and Tuesday
The National Weather Service predicted winds in the 25 to 30 mph range and gusts of up to 40 mph Monday afternoon and evening around Whitewater with similar conditions and stronger gusts of up to 45 mph expected on Tuesday
the winds are expected to die down by late Tuesday with a stretch of calmer conditions to follow

I’ve made it my mission to hold government agencies in Kenosha County accountable—especially the Kenosha Unified School District
I’ve published dozens of stories exposing misconduct—some criminal
some just plain disgraceful—committed by teachers
Many of those stories involve Indian Trail High School and Academy
and some readers have started to ask: what’s wrong with that school
Let me be clear: I don’t have a grudge against Indian Trail
and I don’t have an agenda against anyone inside the building
What I do have is a responsibility—to report on misconduct when it happens
and to shine a light when others try to look the other way
Indian Trail is one of the largest schools in Wisconsin
with nearly 2,000 students and more staff than any other building in KUSD
it stands to reason that more misconduct will originate there than at a smaller school
chances are more of them are coming from Milwaukee than from Twin Lakes—it’s just numbers
I’ve reported on more than 10 Indian Trail staffers over the past couple of years who’ve been involved in serious misconduct
and a few went on to face criminal charges
These include a teacher sentenced to 10 years in prison for abusing a student
and other employees reprimanded or removed for lying
Some of the cases are outrageous and rightly caused public anger
But we cannot—and should not—paint the entire school with the same brush
I’ve met him several times while covering positive stories at the school
and he struck me as sincere and deeply invested in the well-being of his students
But it’s important for the public to understand this: the principal is not the final decision maker when it comes to serious staff discipline
Many decisions go through district-level administration
Blaming Kennow for the district’s shortcomings is misplaced
Most of the teachers at Indian Trail are hardworking educators who want nothing but the best for our children
my reporting has shed the school in a poor light—not by design
I don’t manufacture scandals or go looking for dirt
I pursue stories when the facts support them
Indian Trail’s size alone makes it more likely to produce a higher number of personnel issues
It’s not a reflection on the school’s culture
No matter who you put in charge of a building that size
Just like putting a police officer at every intersection won’t stop all crime
no amount of oversight will prevent every lapse in judgment or misconduct by adults who should know better
This is just my two cents: Indian Trail is a good school
but it also has a lot of good people doing the right thing every day
I’ll keep reporting on the bad—but I won’t pretend it’s the whole story
I have two kids who have attended IT and have had some excellent teachers and a couple bums
As parents we have done our best to prepare them at each level on how to deal with any freaks,perverts,or other libtards they may encounter along the way
but it’s always better to prepare our kiddos
Indian trail has more money than just state funds
We get a ton of scholarships and many grants
Tha score board didn’t come out of district funds
And with grants the school can only use that money for specific things in this case it was athletic electronics
So how about you shut your fucking whole and get the facts
Well done but you left something out — how KUSD messed up Indian Trail
Indian Trail was originally a “specialty” school called an “academy” instead of a high school
Instead of a high school with boundaries (like Bradford and Tremper) ITA had four “houses.” If I recall correctly
It was a small nontraditional school with a very diverse student body that somehow meshed with each other despite the mix of geeks
Then KUSD decided to turn it into a regular high school superimposed on the existing academy
significantly enlarging the campus and adding athletic fields
So now KUSD runs both schools under one roof
The problem all started when they changed the mascot from the TIGERS to the HAWKS
That principal is horrible and needs to go
They had a kid attempt suicide and nothing was done
Like Kevin said The principal has rules and policies and procedures he MUST follow or else he will receive disciplinary action
That goes for every teacher and administrator in Kusd even the district level
Mr Kennow is an amazing principal and a great leader
He really cares for his students and staff and will do what is needed for success in his students and staff
What about his personal $300,000 scoreboard he approved yet the district is hurting for money
scoreboard came from money we received from grants
And it’s not Kennows personal scoreboard you moron
Not everything schools buy are from state funds
Schools get a shit ton of scholarships and grants for stuff like the scoreboard
You just have been threatened bc that’s such bs
your one of those that when you just don’t agree with something you think someone has been threatened and that’s it’s bullshit
Kennow is a great administrator and will do what’s best for his school
We’ve made teachers and other employees too powerful in their employment contracts so as to let them have control over their employers
Hey it’s sad to see this long letter because it does nothing for the real question in my opinion
and that would be what the hell is wrong with the school to the point where you have to actually compose a letter saying
“nothing to worry about everything is fine”
That school obviously has messed up in the fact that some of the scum that is only recently been removed
Not saying that management was kindred spirits to this scum
but obviously the scum did not feel sufficiently frightened of consequences
There’s something very wrong when this happens
“ Not saying that management was kindred spirits to this scum
There’s something very wrong when this happens.”
The inmates are running the asylum when the middle management can’t make the necessary calls to fire when needed
I know several people whose kids have attended Indian Trail and they have some of the best teachers and others that aren’t worth the money they get paid
you need to advocate for your child because no one else will!
but also greeting the students upon arrival
getting to know the students at Tremper and Bradford
Indian Trail is the best high school in KUSD
why do you think they have the bigger enrollment?
We pulled our child out of ITA and it was the best decision we could have ever made
and when you have terrible teachers and out of control students
School voucher system would allow parents to choose a school for their kids is the only way to the future
I was a part of KUSD in the early 2000’s
I worked with Scott and he was a straight shooter who did what was right
There are a few other KUSD principals who are awesome too
I know many teachers didn’t want to get involved with their kids-they were afraid to hold students to codes of behavior
counsellors or even the SRO do things they should be doing themselves
That’s not a reflection on the principal or admin
but on each individual students action and teacher response
the middle school Dean of Students did their best with some crazy kids
Jody Bloyer and Jana Morrison rocked and were the best team ever to work alongside

UNION COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — An Indian Trail home that’s reportedly been the source of years of trouble has officially been shut down by law enforcement
The Union County Sheriff’s Office
in partnership with NC’s Alcohol Law Enforcement Nuisance Abatement Team
declared the house a public nuisance and ordered it closed
the sheriff’s office said the property has “seen years of police activity,” including 18 overdoses since 2019
Neighbors and emergency services have dealt with everything from repeated EMS calls to assaults and criminal activity tied to the home
After gathering evidence and listening to residents’ concerns, authorities brought the case to a Union County Superior Court Judge, who ruled the property could be shut down under North Carolina’s nuisance abatement law (Chapter 19).
the residents must vacate the home within 60 days and are not allowed to have visitors at the property during that time
they’re barred from living within five miles of the home and prohibited from engaging in similar behavior anywhere else
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity in the area by calling 911
INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Indian Trail Town Council members will hold a hearing next month to decide whether or not to censure one of their own
The action comes amid claims Councilman Todd Barber is involved in a gossip page on Facebook, The Indian Trail Weasel Report
Other members have claimed Barber may have violated town policy
They hired an outside attorney to conduct an investigation into whether Barber’s alleged involvement in the gossip page online violates the town’s policy
“board members shall strive to be truthful and provide information in a factual and objective manner
which said Barber has a digital link to the page and is partially responsible for what’s on it
this isn’t Jerry Springer Show,” said one man during the public comment period
Everyone in this room works hard every day and that entire page is designed to attack people.”
People living in Indian Trail tell Queen City News they are fed up
“You are an embarrassment to yourself
this council and to the entire town,” said a woman during the public comment period
They’re calling for Councilman Barber to resign amid concerns he’s behind the Indian Trail Weasel Report
An investigation revealed that before the page had its current name
it was first created under the name “Todd Barber Indian Trail Town Council.”
“We just need to end this,” said Mayor David Cohn
“I’ve been up here for 14 years
Never seen anybody try to tear a town down to make themselves look better.”
While his fellow councilmembers were frustrated
“If y’all want to move forward with my opportunity to have a hearing and present my evidence and present the rebuttal
I would ask that hearing be scheduled in four months,” he said
The council decided to hold that hearing on May 13
and council members will vote on whether or not to censure him

INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A malfunctioning LED light caused a massive house fire that displaced a family in Union County
according to Union County Emergency Communications
crews responded to a house fire in the 2300 block of Creek Trail Drive in Indian Trail
they saw an active fire at the single-story home
The Union County Fire Marshal’s Office determined that the fire started in the garage due to a malfunctioning LED light
The family was able to safely get out of the home
a resident told Queen City News that their dog is missing
Officials say no injuries were reported and the American Red Cross is helping those displaced
A neighboring house was also minorly damaged by the fire
The fire escalated due to doors being left open while the family was evacuating
“The Union County Fire Marshal’s Office encourages all residents to remember to close doors when evacuating a structure fire
which it needs to grow,” officials said
UNION COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — An Indian Trail woman is behind bars after police say she locked her boyfriend in a storage unit for five days before officers rescued him
“I’ve been locked in a storage unit for about a week now and I just now found my phone,” said the man in the 911 call Monday afternoon
so you’re locked in a storage unit?” asked the dispatcher
but she put me in here and I just now found my phone inside this storage unit
I’ve been here since last week,” said the man
I haven’t had nothing to drink or anything.”
The man reportedly told police that he and his girlfriend
got into an argument where she slammed the door to the unit closed
Police described the storage unit as ‘a hoarder’s paradise-type situation’
saying it makes sense that the man struggled to find his phone
He went to a hospital for dehydration but has since been released
Monroe Police questioned why Deaton did not check on her boyfriend for five days
Warrants for her arrest were issued for attempted murder and kidnapping
“We believe that she truly intended for him to die in that storage unit with no food and no water
she knew she locked him in there and never went back to check on him,” said Lt
Deanton was arrested by Charlotte Mecklenburg Police early the morning of Thursday
She is being held without bond at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center awaiting extradition to Union County
She is expected to have a hearing at the Union County Courthouse on the afternoon of Monday
but I think it’s an important reminder that men are also victims of domestic violence
and it has to be taken seriously,” said Lt
— In a decision that’s raising eyebrows across the community
Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Chad Kerkman (D) on Friday rejected a request from prosecutors to waive 16-year-old Jaheem Wright into adult court
allowing the teen who brought a loaded gun to school and made threats to be sentenced in juvenile court instead
who terrified students and staff at Indian Trail High School in December
took a plea deal and pleaded guilty to two felonies: Terroristic Threats and Possession of a Firearm on School Grounds
Two misdemeanor charges — Possession of a Dangerous Weapon by a Minor and Carrying a Concealed Weapon — were dismissed as part of the agreement
Judge Kerkman sentenced Wright to just one year in a juvenile detention facility
meaning no official public record of Wright’s identity will exist
The public will know about the incident itself
but only Kenosha County Eye has identified the individual responsible
Kenosha County Eye reported that Kerkman appeared hesitant to move the case to adult court
Prosecutors had argued that the seriousness of the charges and their impact on the school community warranted adult-level accountability
Kerkman ordered a competency exam and opted to keep the matter in juvenile jurisdiction
The incident shook the Kenosha school community
Wright was found with a loaded handgun on school grounds and had posted a threatening video to Snapchat that frightened students at both Indian Trail and Bradford High School
The situation prompted a lockdown and urgent police response
Law enforcement did not initially locate the firearm during their search at the school
but later discovered it concealed in Wright’s waistband after he had been taken into custody
An internal review by the Kenosha Police Department revealed that Officer LaDonte Pittman
the school resource officer at Indian Trail
conducted multiple pat-downs of Wright but failed to locate the handgun
Pittman received a one-day unpaid suspension and will undergo additional training on search procedures
who transported Wright to the police department without conducting a required search
Both officers accepted the disciplinary measures and will participate in refresher training coordinated by the department’s training division
Kerkman declined to expose Wright to adult consequences
The sentence — one year in juvenile detention and a completely sealed record — is being viewed by many as an act of extreme leniency
Kerkman also sought to keep the proceedings secret
the public would have had no access to the details of Wright’s crime or the court’s handling of it
Critics of the ruling say it sends the wrong message about how seriously the justice system takes school safety and armed threats
Wright is expected to serve his sentence in a juvenile facility and walk away without a criminal record
Whoever the gun was registered to should be in court also
Where and how the handgun was obtained would be very interesting
Do any of you people know how many guns are stolen every year
10 private sales later who you going to charge.
Do you keep a record of the kitchen table you sold 10 years ago
constitutionally protected property at that
Next KUSD will come out and say its ok to bring a gun to school if a black kid does it
Oh and who just stabbed and killed someone
Idiots like you that make it about race just look for a reason to fit your agenda
Where would we be without an idiot like you
Just pointing out the irony of you calling someone “a idiot.” But I’m guessing you wouldn’t be able to comprehend irony
I find the irony in you afraid to post your real name
so “Anonymous” is your real name
‘Cause most blacks don’t go to school
Did we lose the point of the story?🤦🏼♀️
You definitely pissed off some Popeyes fat bitch fan that thinks her fatherless spawns can bring guns to school and not pay for it
19 % of black kids even know who their fathers are
A loaded gun to a school after all the school shootings and a wack sentence like this
When is this liberal judge up for reelection
who’s also making a name for himself with light sentences
To vote him out we need to have someone run against him
Our new DA could run against Kerkman and easily win
He may be well fed up with all the Libs on the bench in Gaytown
Kenosha Attorney/Author Michael Cicchini would be a great replacement opposing Kerkman
That’s the second Kerkman to be a huge disappointment to this county
I don’t want to hear another liberal preach about gun control if they support this judge’s ruling!!!!!!!!!!!!
they love to scream and point fingers and demand that we spend hundreds of millions of dollars to keep guns out of our schools
and then this piece of s*** judge gives a slap on the wrist to someone who brags about and is caught bringing a gun into school
The message this gives is absolutely that youth + black = untouchable when it comes to guns in schools
I believe the court system hasn’t seen the last of Jaheem the Dream
But who will he have damaged or destroyed prior to finally being put away for a real sentence because of this useless excuse for a judge
This is such a reckless and irresponsible decision
Kerkman has an obligation to the citizens of Kenosha County that feral trash like Wright are separated from society for the maximum term permitted by law
he consistently errs on the side of his personal liberal ideology to unleash these animals on us all to prove his sense of “compassion” to his LGBTQ circle of friends
Wright will almost assuredly commit a violent crime in the not distant future….and by that time….Kerkman will likely be lounging on a beach with his boyfriend and laughing it up….all on the Kenosha taxpayer’s dime
I am not a fan of this judge but there is a particular rock and hard place situation here because of confidentiality laws
There could have been a good reason to keep this case in Juvenile court but the way the laws written we’ll never know why
With a severe threat that guns in our schools in today you would think there would be more Sensitivity to the seriousness of this
100% since they did it in MI and were successful convicting BOTH parents
that should be the standard when someone is under 18 for any shooting or gun related charge
I was not surprised that effective justice was meted out there
Outcomes are determined by county and the quality of its judges being paramount to public safety
And its not a Democrat/Republican partisan issue
There are Democrat “hanging judges” who are very effective
aside from his famous Mark Jensen and Kyle Rittenhouse cases
He was an anomaly as he originally started as a defense attorney
This pathetic clown of a Judge needs to go
I’m sure he can find a job chasing ambulances
no need to have him lapping up tax money while further endangering the people he’s supposed to protect via existing laws
simply because this little bastard was proud of his concealed gun and bragged about bringing it to school and being untouchable
We have intent and we have the actual deed he needs to do some adult time with a record that doesn’t become invisible if he behaves for one year in an area that will have a very LAX way of determining whether or not he is “behaving”
Juvenile detention has a way of passing people just to move them along
Post of a gun that says imma run this bitch
Yup he will serve his time and come out an even a better criminal than before
Look at me I can’t see the article and people posting
I’m here because I’m lonely and very petty
I’m also called a bitch a lot because that’s what I am
kid brings a gun to school and a clown is more worried about a to an
Judge Chad kerkman is is a bonafide imbecile!!
He shouldn’t even be practicing as a judge
I had a case with him and he didn’t even give it the time of day
he just completely shrugged it off and was a complete effin asshole
I hope he’s reading too if you can with his cross eyes
I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have given it the time of day
You are not gaining points and a SCHROEDER YOU ARE NOT
When do we start going after the gangs and the bullies
This would surely help kids having to feel that that need to protect themselves since NO ONE is there to protect them
Defund welfare to keep fathers in the home to start…
Now this is a real dumb comment because not all black people are bad people
There’s bad people in all ethnicities ALL of them
I’ve been around a lot of different people in my life and I’ve seen good and bad in all
Ignorance is a real ugly trait so stop that
Check out all the cheering from them when a white kid gets murdered by a feral black
How many white teens are carjacking in Milwaukee
25percent of abortions are of black babies
I doubt your 100 percent will be reached unless whites move
Or people hear- and listen- to the Good News
Far stretch saying ‘most’ but will agree that SOME are not bad
He will be in jail someday but after he commits murder
Kerkman will have blood on his hands like so many other libtard justices who continue to put innocent people’s lives at risk
He will be in jail someday but not until after he commits murder
Kerkman will have blood on his hands like so many other libtard justices that refuse to protect innocent everyday Americans
Kerkman and his effete management of the law needs to be removed
Some of the posts bring out the Mensa population 🤦♀️
I’m glad I didn’t have to make this decision
Putting this child in adult prison would guarantee his fate
If he wanted to shoot and kill he had more than enough time to do so
Most home dogs don’t know about MENSA
Get rid of him before he has a chance to breed the next generation of useless animals
Actually Kerkman might be playing 3D chess
He gave him the light sentence because he knows this hood fuck will run his mouth to the wrong homie and probably get his beak shot off
but I don’t believe for a moment that is what this dangling Chad voted for
these worthless thugs with no daddy at home disgust me
Judge Kerkman seems to continue to carry on the Gravely / Carli legacy
Such a disgrace to the citizens of Kenosha
I think his time could be better spent with a box of crayons drawing pictures of rainbows with Pep
My attitude was completely justified as would any othervlogical and caring person
It involved the death of an individual and a person that poisoned him with the deadly fentanyl
Judge Kerkman couldn’t give a flipping crap
He didn’t want to hear it and he didnt even READ the evidence in his face put before him
I have a question: what would the judge have decided if this was a white kid from whity tidy pleasant praire and not a colored kid
White tidy kids from Pleasant Prairie don’t do that
If that’s the proper application of the law then so be it
Judges shouldn’t be swayed because people are mad
The kid brought a loaded handgun to school
The kid posted threats on social media saying he was going to shoot up the school
The kid concealed the handgun in a manner that two police officers failed to find it
The kid plead guilty to making Terroristic Threats and bringing a loaded handgun on school grounds…..both felonies
The “proper application of law” was to send him into adult court to face the maximum available consequence
liberal judge gave him one year in a Kid’s Jail….minus 130 days for time served….in order to prove his “compassion” to all of his LGBTQ cocktail party friends
the kid’s record gets cleared 9 months from now
Only a Low IQ moron would come on here and defend this
“Gary P.” When Wright inevitably commits a murder 2,3
I doubt you will be singing the same tune if the victims are members of your family or circle of friends
the colored kid was nice enough not to shoot the chick cop in the head during transit after she missed finding the gun
because a kid brought a gun to school and he’s getting away without hardly any accountability
so he’s going to probably commit a very serious crime when he gets out
What happens if one of your family members are a victim
And the consequences with this juvenile does not fit the crime
Chad hasn’t taken a beating like this since his bath-house visit in SF….
Would make an interesting investigative report
I don’t recall what happened with the Bradford student a year or two ago who brought a loaded gun

UNION COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A water main break in Indian Trail is expected to impact area roads for several hours on Friday
Union County Water crews are currently conducting repairs to a water main near the intersection of Independence Blvd and N
a quarter-mile stretch of eastbound Independence Blvd
This modified traffic pattern is expected to remain in place until 9 p.m
as crews work to complete repairs as quickly as possible
Drivers in the area are urged to either avoid the intersection or proceed with caution
The lane closures are also expected to affect access to some businesses located on the west side of Independence Blvd
the ongoing repairs are expected to impact water service to Union County Water customers in the immediate area
Affected customers were being directly notified by Union County Water about potential disruptions to their service
customers may experience low or no water pressure throughout the day
INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Todd Barber tried to follow the actions of many corporations and government agencies by ending their diversity
But the Indian Trail Town Council member was instead met with plenty of pushback Tuesday night
others on the board suggested he wasn’t even familiar with the town’s policies on the topic.
“Just to make a motion without any discussion is very offensive to me,” said an emotional Councilman Clarence Alsobrooks
the lone African-American on the board.
Officials explained that the town requires all staff and council members to take a 20-minute DEI training created by the N.C
League of Municipalities; they must do the same on sexual harassment.
Other members shared their feelings on what was called “common sense” training
it didn’t take very long,” said Councilwoman Crystal Buchaluk
What negative did you feel you saw in it?”
To which Barber responded: “It’s not something I think we should require people to do.”
A Union County commissioner explained earlier in the meeting how they have ended their DEI policy. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week for all DEI programs in the federal government to end
But Mayor David Cohn noted the training didn’t just deal with racial topics
Barber had not completed any of the training
He eventually changed his motion to instruct town staff to alert the council if any changes are made to the training
and a decision can then be made on whether to keep it.
“I’m taking a cautious approach,” he said.
Councilman Dennis Gay suggested that Barber take the training before a decision was made
“I think he should at least table this and go through training that we’re all required to do and then come back with sort of motion,” said Gay
well done in presenting the motion in the way it was presented,” he told Barber
“I had a situation where I (worked for bosses who said) never hire a female
to never hire female for maintenance or as a superintendent
We have to be sensitive in the things that we say and things that we do
That type of training is very appropriate.”
KCE has just obtained his personnel file and learned why he was issued a write-up from KUSD
According to Cabal’s personnel file:
the high school’s principal was informed by security staff that a custodian found an unlocked hallway door that leads to the storage room located adjacent to Cabal’s art classroom. They tried to open the door
but discovered it was barricaded closed with an “Alice” rope
they entered the classroom and went into the storage room that way
There was a makeshift bed discovered on the floor of the storage closet.
The principal was busy at the first part of the day so he didn’t get to check out the storage room until 9:00 a.m
The principal enter the storage room and the makeshift bed was gone
Cabal lied several times to his principal and told him there was no such bed in the closet
The principal then checked another storage closet and discovered three students
The principal noted that these three students were not being supervised by Mr
The principal then told Cabal that he would review the security footage to see if he was lying about the bed
Cabal then came clean and admitted that he had lied to the principal several times
He admitted to quickly cleaning up the room and hiding the bed from his principal
District staff seemingly investigated to see if there are any children ever in the closet with Cabal
They were unable to locate any evidence that this had occurred
Cabal told KUSD staff that he sometimes “took naps during lunch or after school” and that was the reason for the bed.
Cabal was written up for “insubordinate conduct towards a supervisor,” and “providing false statements to your supervisor or during an investigation.”
further disciplinary action may take place up to an including a recommendation to the Board of Education for non-renewal and/or termination of your contract.”
seemingly thought he was going to get fired
“Currently looking to get out of education and find a new career path[.] [A]ny ex teachers with advice out there[?]”
KUSD’s Director of HR doesn’t fire teachers
An Indian Trail parent told KCE “I find it deeply disturbing that a teacher lied to his boss about having a bed in a locked closet in his classroom
It doesn’t have a good look and I don’t believe his excuse
My kids won’t be permitted to be a student of his.”
Perfect timing with KUSD texting residents asking if we are voting yes to the referendum in February
No more money for KUSD until they can get this district back in control
This has got nothing to do with the referendum
Is people to workplace all the time too stupid things
They do stupid things they’re here all the time
We are funding this miscreants and Weiss is doing nothing to stop it
Do you not pick up a newspaper or read watch the news ??
This is absurd we are wasting our money on these shit schools
It would certainly have looked better if he owned up to it up front
At the end of the article it says what it is.
there is the money you claim you want but don’t need
How much money of our tax dollars does he get each year
You’ve got to be joking vote no the whole KUSD is a joke just like Indian trail
Indian trail used to be suicide high but now
He said he took naps on his lunch period and after school
He didn’t take naps while he was supposed to be teaching
I am so disgusted with KUSD with some of the teachers they hire and the lack of transparency on what is going on especially with this high school
I will be voting NO on the school referendum in February
Since this discussion has drifted off to a debate on the referendum…
I will vote “no.” I will acknowledge that independent of KUSD mismanagement there is a funding crisis for many Wisconsin school districts
The state has a $4 billion budget surplus and yet many districts are going to voters asking to raise property taxes — one of the most regressive forms of taxation
I agree with the people who say that kicking the can down the road with massive property tax increases doesn’t solve the problem
KUSD has failed miserably to establish and maintain credibility in its stewardship of existing resources and management
This crisis in confidence won’t be fixed by text messages or mailings
It doesn’t listen and then it expects people to simply bow down and accept how it does things
If KUSD wants my vote it needs to clean up its own house first
If you want the public to have confidence in the public schools then show us why we should
the Madison problem still exists and it’s time that the bickering stops and people come together to solve some of these problems
I think some of the blame also falls on some parents and students
Why should hardworking taxpayers pay high taxes for schools that your kids aren’t attending with their truancies often the result of your miserable parenting
And we need to instill in kids the notion that going to school
studying hard and succeeding is their job and responsibility
Too many kids — and teachers — look like crap
Maybe if they dress professionally they might start acting like it
they won’t need a PR flak to tell us
What is the District doing to collect past due school fees
There is no concerted effort to collect monies owed to KUSD
The day the students either move or graduate thousands and thousands of dollars walk out that door to never be collected
I know for a fact that Racine Unified will not let their students participate in any extracurricular activities if there are outstanding fees
Kenosha citizens should not be paying higher taxes
I’m not sure where you are getting your information or just assuming
however you can’t participate in sports if your athletic fee isn’t paid AND before you can graduate
At least this was the case these past 5 years!
Had to pay list book fees first my child and sports fees also had to be paid prior to playing sports!
Great idea but certain people will never be required to pay athletic fees etc
This whole county is like an episode of “shameless” on showtime tv
Just grab a beer and popcorn and tune into Kenosha county eye
You have to be at the paper and news won’t tell your the real shit that matter
They to busy promoting fish fry’s and coffee houses!!
These liberals can be really harsh when they want to
We should bring DT to check on our infamous KUSD for 30 minutes
just 30 minutes and you’ll see how this county will be great again
He used to go to the gym I go to and always made you feel uncomfortable
go home and take one on your lunch and why stay after school
no reason you need to be there when school is done
It sounds like Mr Cabal took blankets that were in a storage closet out and placed them on the floor to nap
Video surveillance in all the rooms prove no student was present with him
Other storage closets not connected to him have blankets that kids are using but he wasn’t with those kids
weird that you added it to your article regarding him
Sounds like ITA needs to lock their storage closets and remove those blankets
Cabal did make a poor decision to nap on the floor but locked the door and was alone on camera
that was wrong and he got a write up he deserved
I’m sure he was afraid of exactly what you are doing
trying to make this into something sick even though it has been proven it wasn’t
They are ON CAMERA at all times and nothing happened
You know this but continue to pretend it was something else
It’s sad that when there are REAL PREDATORS out there you waste time vilifying a man who made a bad choice but hurt no one
Sounds like you’re a teacher at KUSD protecting one of your worthless pedophiles employed by the KUSD and a member of the KEA
I just believe in truth and when an accusation is proven false we should all acknowledge that and focus on keeping our kids safe from those who are actually doing them harm
so you think making up a secret bed in a storage room is ok
I don’t know any employer xcept fire depts and police letting worker bees sleep on the job…
taking a nap was a bad choice and he was written up
Is that what this article was written about
Because people don’t get called these names for napping during work hours
This is why I questioned whether it was a place for him to nap or if it was used for illicit purposes
there is nothing wrong with taking a nap on your lunch break — it’s your time — and that’s why when he was asked about it he should
But not being truthful opened a whole can of worms
The “teacher” shouldn’t be talking a nap PERIOD
Stay home if you’re too fucking tired
the question is why are you sticking up for demented teachers
Sounds like you’ve got a lot of inside info that wasn’t mentioned in the article
I’m a “NO” vote for the latest KUSD money grab attempt
I will not willingly support the failed KUSD admin
One of those mentioned above may or may not have had a 5 year affair
during which they wrote a paper about trust
Sounds to me like a law enforcement investigation of some type needs to be started
Why do we rely on the district to investigate itself
Have an independent LEO of some kind or the new prosecutor investigate
This is not some guy that’s working in a factory
the kids that we send to his school a closet pedophile this KUSD over the years
Here is one of the worst school districts in the state
if not the worst I will be voting no on August 18
wtf??…..he takes naps?….bullshit….it’s a make shift dong pad
why isn’t KUSD firing these SICKOS???..cmon people open you’re eyes!!!!… I won’t let my kid back to school until something gets done here
why were 3 kids in a closed storage room unnattended
horrible school board members and an absolute loser of a superintendent!!
I cannot believe some of you are defending a grown-ass man who “takes naps” during the day while at work
Wasn’t his wife a shim?Maybe he just needs a place to hide
Remember the episode of South Park where they went on a field trip to the museum of stereotypes and they got to the Mexican guy sleeping and it was supposed to be a stereotype of the lazy Mexican when the guy woke up and it was the janitor who said “sorry
He had his own stabbin cabin right in the school
KUSD doesn’t need any more of our money
if they were an enterprise with any competition
because they aren’t doing what they are being paid to do – educate children
and the fact that he’s still employed there
is one small example of the low standards that are considered acceptable
Dude was watching seinfeld when George had a bed under his desk
Let’s give kusd a 123 million dollars and raise your property taxes so employees and sleep on the job and have multiple teachers fired or resign due to grooming
If we give them this money they will just hire more useless employees
the freshmen eyes were all dipped down waist level in awe
it’s called “pubic envy”
Vote yes so we can pay the teachers a decent wage then they can afford to nap in appropriate places
This is very concerning on what is going on here
(QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A local teacher was named North Carolina’s Teacher of the Year by Teachers of Tomorrow
the nation’s top alternative teacher certification program
Victoria Kauffman is an arts teacher at Cuthbertson High School
“As a dedicated and passionate Theater Arts teacher
and intellectually stimulating learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered,” said mentor Ashley Bayer
“Victoria’s classroom is a space where all students—regardless of background
or experience—are welcomed and encouraged to express themselves
ensuring that every student’s voice is heard and respected.”
I think of teaching as the ROLE of a lifetime
Teaching Theatre Arts is more than the subject matter,” said Kauffman
and most importantly confidence and self-expression
I adore sharing my love of theater with my students
and I love even more being a part of their journey as a mentor and guide to adulthood!”
Teachers for Tomorrow operates in several states
recognizing the brightest educators through its Teacher of the Year competition
The program features teachers nominated by school principals and ToT field supervisors across Arizona

The winner will be announced during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5-9)
A receptionist at Indian Trail High School & Academy has resigned her position as of March 7
Danielle Nixon was allegedly under investigation by the Kenosha Unified School District for misconduct
According to a source familiar with the matter
Nixon was accused of modifying attendance records for varsity boys’ basketball players to to circumvent Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) eligibility rules
KCE has requested the investigative files and will report back when the exact details are known
Nixon’s husband is the ITA JV Basketball head coach
Will the nepotism in Kenosha County ever end
It’s just crazy how many government employees are related to each other
Government jobs as the “family business” just has to end
Do they have a child on the basketball team
The two older boys played football for ITA
The Nixons have been involved in ITA athletics since 2011
They probably don’t care they have a son in the NFL
not hers (her stepson) and she wasnt working at the school when he attended or any of my three boys
Nixons children are my biological children and none of them have anything to do with her stupidity
your own son don’t even talk to or associate w you
You want to tell the people why Daviyon hasn’t spoke to you in Months
Because you was begging for money and when he hit a rough patch you left him.
Say who you are so we know you really know what you talking about
You so invested you are either her or related to her…lol
Aye that’s the right one on foenem don’t ever disrespect my momma
I just think the people should know who YOU really are CHAWANDA
You kept the Nixon last name after being divorced for 15 years
How would he not fuck with me and i see hi
Keno dont talk about what you dont know how about asking real questions
All im saying is none of us have anything to do with wwhat she does…so whats your problem or malfunction that you feel you need to TRY and come down on me….oh you bored…got it
I am so sorry for you about the assumed connection
they should probably fire everyone involved to make room for some real law breakers
Y’all wasting y’all time posting on here they have a son in NFL they don’t care about money or the job!!
Obviously you don’t follow football Davion Nixon hasn’t played in the NFL in almost 2 years
He signed a minimum contract for a 5th round pick
You probably dont read well or follow the NFL as he hasnt played in 2 yrs….just needed sonething to say
Someone’s always gonna get jealous of success…pfft
Give the job to someone who actually will pretend to want to be there
Nixon committed to play college football at Iowa over an offer from Purdue
but was not admitted after failing to qualify academically
But he went juco for 10 weeks won a national championship then returned to Iowa and was a big ten player of the year and all American
I like how anyone can hop on here with a random name and act like someone else
because who would admit to the name Chwanda if they didn’t have to 😂
Yall all fake and too scared to be yourselves
get mr nixon outta there too he most definitely knew
I highly doubt she just took this action on her own
someone had to be telling her what to do and she do
Should have been fired just for the Gwen Moore clown glasses
Looks like one of the creatures from Futurama
It is essential that we elect the right individuals
many of us would not be aware of the disastrous behavior of those responsible for the education and well-being of our children
I always wondered what happened to Shirley from What’s Happening
I was thinking more Florida from Good Times but…
Nothing is more enjoyable than watching a knockdown
drag-out fight between two black women who have no problem with showing their ignorance
This is just another example of the moral failure of our school system
KUSD is wringing its hands and moaning about the failed referendum
we must show our children that it is unacceptable to fudge school records
You are right…thank you for saying this
I just dont want ppl believing she did anything to up my children in any areas
And what mother wouldnt be defensive when their children are brought into something that has nothing to do with them
After looking at her Facebook I see that chawnada is a 🏳️🌈 lib
I would 💯pay to watch a cage match between Chanda and Danielle
I have to confess that I had to Google who Mojo Nixon was….🤷♂️….apparently
Cage Match….Meet at the Golden Corral
She is not even the attendance employee at the school
Teachers record class period attendance and security staff like her husband record study hall attendance
Filling in for attendance clerk?Attendance records are legal documentation
Security to be in the system (Infinite campus) varies by job classification
Every time I call attendance or main office
And each of them have taken care of my kid’s attendance
Question is why did she modify/change attendance after the fact
Maybe the kid changed it himself from home from his computer
The attendance line rings and if no one is there to pick up
or is busy on the phone it goes to the secretary
There’s 5 secretaries there that all answer and help each other out but not everyone has access to change attendance records
Danielle Nixon is one of the most down to earth person you’d ever have the chance to meet
This attendance issue is not what this article is making it out to be
…..and please don’t leave out the part about who all put her up to it….
Rather she did it or not it’s for attendance in 2 occasions
one was already cleared up that she did no wrong doing and the second one was under investigation when she resigned
You guys are acting like she did something that hasn’t been done before
“she’s not the only one”
I like how nobody points out how they were quick to try and throw ms Nixon under the bus but let that art teacher come back to school after admitting to talking to kids
It’s so much more bs that goes on at Indian Trail
they just had to make an example out of her
Chwanda fighting for her life in these mf comments 😭
I usually agree with you Winter but not on this one
there are rotten apples that are yet to fall from the ITA staff tree but that doesn’t justify shutting down the whole H.S.
Better leadership is needed across all of KUSD
Nixon and those ghetto “security guards” all need to be fired
Those ghetto “security guards” smoke vapes and weed pens with students who do so as well
INDIAN TRAIL – The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization awarded the Town of Indian Trail on March 19 more than $6 million for two transportation-related projects
The town was awarded $5,231,384 for improvements to the Indian Trail-Fairview Road/Younts Road/Stinson Hartis Road intersection
The town is responsible for the remaining 50% of the total
This intersection was one of three priority intersections identified in the town’s Transportation Master Plan
which the town council approved in November 2024
Improvements to the intersection will include realigning Younts Road to create a combined intersection with Stinson Hartis Road; removing the existing traffic signal and installing a new one at the combined intersection; adding a dedicated left turn lane on Stinson Hartis Road; and installing high visibility crosswalks
the project will construct 10-foot multi-use paths with pedestrian lighting along Younts Road and Stinson Hartis Road and construct a five-foot sidewalk along Indian Trail-Fairview Road to fill in the sidewalk gap
This funding will be available in October 2027
The anticipated year for the start of construction is 2031
The town received $1,321,600 from CRTPO to cover additional funding needed for construction and right-of-way acquisition costs for the Indian Trail Road Complete Street project
The total funding needed to cover the costs is $1,652,000
The town will cover $330,400 of the total cost as part of the funding agreement
The funding was approved for improvements at the Matthews-Indian Trail Road and Indian Trail Road intersection
Additional funding for Indian Trail Road improvements will be available in October 2025
The town will advertise the project to prospective bidders by the end of 2025
CRTPO allocates discretionary funds or grants to member jurisdictions on a competitive basis
Project selection is guided by the CRTPO-approved Discretionary Fund Policy Guide
which prioritizes regional projects that will utilize federal funds
CRTPO opened its call for projects last August
The town will provide additional information on these projects as they move forward

— A math teacher at Indian Trail High School and Academy has once again been placed on administrative leave—this time for allegedly making racist comments in front of students
a longtime math teacher in the Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD)
was reportedly escorted out of his classroom on March 19
according to multiple sources who contacted KCE
A substitute teacher has remained in his classroom since the incident
The latest allegation follows a troubling history of prior misconduct reports involving Nachtigal
who was the subject of a KCE investigation in early 2024
according to personnel records obtained via a public records request
Nachtigal admitted to turning to a student during a math lesson
What is your question?” The comment visibly upset several students
one of whom—who is Jewish—needed to leave class for nearly 20 minutes to recover
Three students submitted written statements confirming the teacher’s behavior
which Nachtigal himself acknowledged in an interview with administrators
Principal Scott Kennow placed Nachtigal on leave and recommended serious disciplinary action
writing in his report that the behavior was “offensive and derogatory,” disrupted learning
and was “in direct conflict” with the school’s mission of creating a supportive environment for all students
Kennow urged consequences that would “send a message to our students
and community that this behavior has no place in our schools.” However
district leadership opted for a less severe response
KUSD’s Chief Human Resources Officer—who earns $150,000 annually—issued only a written warning
Nachtigal was required to undergo diversity
and inclusion (DEI) training and instructed to offer a verbal apology to his class
Neir noted that future misconduct could result in termination
a female student reported that Nachtigal had sent her to the office as a joke and then made a kissing gesture toward her
Although her mother later declined to pursue the matter formally
the student expressed discomfort with the incident
Neir ultimately cleared Nachtigal of wrongdoing
While district officials have not confirmed the specifics of the latest allegations
sources familiar with the matter say the issue centers on racially insensitive remarks made in class
We cannot provide any additional information at this time as this is a personnel matter.”
who has previously spoken out on issues of discrimination in Kenosha schools
It appears that Nachtganl’s social media accounts have been taken down recently
With silence from district leaders and mounting concerns from families
many are left questioning why a teacher with a documented history of inappropriate behavior remains in the classroom
“We tell our kids that schools are safe places—but what message are we sending when this kind of behavior is tolerated over and over again?”
As the district continues its investigation
Nachtigal’s future at Indian Trail remains unclear
parents and students wait for answers—and accountability
I’m sure your child or yourself were wonderfully behaved and sweet since you think so low of the principal
Always blaming other people when you’re the problem and playing the victim
shut the fuck up u dumb bitch u don’t even know what he’s done in that school
that principal silenced rape victims and hid rapist allegations from the public because there was a student rapist on the school board
he also would suspend kids for talking abt the pedophile who was convicted at our school because he wanted to keep it under wraps before it came out to the public
he’s never cared abt the safety of kids or anything his whole dilemma was that he didn’t wanna be on the news so he hid a shit ton of stuff
You are more ignorant and so extremely out of touch more than I thought
Do me a favor and go to therapy and get some help
I challenge you to spend one day in any of these principal’s shoes and see what they deal with on a daily basis
Everyone thinks they can do a better job until they try it
im a student in this school and can say that principal works day and night and dose a danm good job ,
your just a cry baby who makes things seem worse and then when leadership dont do exacty what you want you then cry and complain like a bitch
It’s absolutely insane to me how many times KUSD is in the news let alone Indian trail
Then the audacity to ask for more money from taxpayers to fund these idiots
Some serious changes need to be made in education in general
Neir and Ruder and KUSD has more money than referendum would have brought in
I don’t think he knew the dumpster fire he was walking into in Oct 2022 when he came to KUSD
He had no problem wanting a LARGE contract
The time to cut him slack passed a long time ago when we saw what his reactions were every time he discovered what he had walked into
He is obviously not the man to change what he walked into
He needs to go and he’s lucky he’ll be allowed to keep all the money we’ve already paid him
How in the hell does one school have this many issues
Because its Ratchet iv heard horror stories about that school but yet they lie to critique Bradford because of the demographics
as a student that goes here trust me there are way more issues going on inside the school than one may think
the staff worries too much about iPhones and airpods than they do about their students being safe from gun violence
they say they “prioritize safty” but in reality you take your phone out to message mom and it’s “Go to OSM” and “That’s a referral
you know not to be on your phone” clearly this school needs to work on some things…
As an employee who used to work for Indian trail and Kenosha unified school district I can say there are issues with ITA but the main reason starts with the phones because students like to go to the bathrooms and record each other fighting and send each other obnoxious things thru social platforms and that’s how issues starts within the school
Like I said I used to work there and I heard a lot of things especially when it comes to vaping and smoking in the bathrooms but no one seems to blink an eye on that but 80% of students in schools are literally doing it
Phones have no place in the classroom while learning
they can call the office or students can stay home
Most teachers are reasonable and if something is truly going on
The amount of drama brought into the classroom makes it a necessary to ban devices
Bradford and Tremper have just as many issues
The reason you hear this much about Indian Trail is because the dude who owns this site has kids that attend there and he’s got inside eyes
Put inside eyes in the other schools and there will be just as many issues if not more
I think the beads in the beard signal trouble
Maybe I’m stereotyping or generalizing
Last I checked the left were the ones spray painting swastikas everywhere
Wonder if he owns a tesla dumpster truck too
hopefully the district hold him accountable and terminates him once and for all
he is a foster parent and his wife is a “foster care champion” time for someone to look into how they treat their foster children
and he’s constantly asking other students for advice on how to do simple things like braid their hair
If he’s so reluctant to do simple tasks like help students with their work or grade assignments you can’t help but wonder how he’s treating his 13 foster children
Sounds like something this teacher would enjoy doing
It appears Neir needs to undergo DEI training to fully understand the seriousness of this teacher’s awful behavior
That’s assuming DEI training hasn’t already been eliminated by the Trump administration
Remember,nothing is funny any more.Probably bad judgement again,but guessing most of the kids get his humor.All it takes is one candy ass kid with snowflake parents to ruin someone
Kids are such snowflakes nowadays and left wing males are all beta-males
The kid had to leave the room for 20 minutes to calm down
LMAO By no means am I condoning the teacher’s behavior
China could literally wipe us of the planet if they wanted to
Look deeper into the facility in Wuhan and who was actually running the lab
before you give the credit for covid to China my friend
One glance at this clown tells you all you need to know with his stupid beaded beard and his behavior
he really thinks he’s something hip and special
We have enough special people running around our schools and School Board already
and we need to start throwing them out the windows into a large pile
he had said something about a black conductor
I am a student that attends Indian Trails and I have had my friends who are in that class make complaints to me several times about his behavior and one even made a report about an inappropriate gesture that was made to them
the teacher had made a V shape with his fingers and brought it up to his mouth
sticking his tongue out and flickering it at her…
She also made another report of how she had witnessed the teacher have lingering touches on a couple girls shoulders or elbows and then have had a conversation with those girls that have stated that they were uncomfortable
When she had met with the principal the next day with her mother after making the report about her incident with him
he listened to her story and told her that he didn’t believe her and that she was lying… so that really shows his reputation as a principal who does nothing to protect his students
So many things happen at this school that nobody reports because all it will result in is nothing and being called a liar or being told that we must have saw it wrong and it didn’t happen the way we are reporting it
It’s appalling that a principal can say he prioritizes our safety when he’s allowing these people back in our school and teaching us because there’s “low staff” or they won’t be able to find a replacement quick enough
All I hear are excuses to threaten our safety and comfortability in a place that’s supposed to be safe
your friend at Kenosha County Poke out my Eyeballs doesn’t believe this story
She displays evidence of severe mental illness
There is no way to decipher what she “thinks” or “knows.”
It’s sad that those with mental illness often times go into a career to try and “help” those with mental illness
I think it justifies their own mental illness and allows them to project onto someone else…
let’s make sure nobody’s wittle feeweings are hurted
What would you all do if something major happened in the world
Dude fuck off… These are children being talked about
What if your child was involved in a situation like this
Don’t ever bring life into this world with that attitude
pretty sure this guy is also being investigated for sexual abuse
having students complain of inappropriate sexual gestures and other things and not being fired is crazy work
My son was in the classroom while it happened he said he was horribly affended and needs some type of justice for this crucial situation…
My son and his friend are both failing because he dosent decide to grade or respond to emails
Seems weird because he has lots of time off
I’m a student in his class and I failed my first semester because of his lazy grading
so I would let your son know to get as much work done right now as possible
many kids in Ryan Nachtigal’s classroom are failing his class because of ungraded work
It takes almost 2 months for a test to be graded
I’m a student in his class and sat next to a mentally challenged girl first semester
Whenever she asked for help he would get pissed off and tell her she’s stupid
As if his stupid monopoly mobile game was more important than doing his job!

A KUSD art teacher was removed from his classroom last week by district staff
had his classroom searched by school personnel last week and he was removed from the school
He has had a substitute teacher in his classroom at Indian Trail And Academy High School ever since
According to a post made the next day on Cabal’s LinkedIn
he is “Currently looking to get out of education and find a new career path[.] [A]ny ex teachers with advice out there[?]”
Cabal is on administrative leave effective 12/12/24
I cannot share further details as this is a personnel matter,” said KUSD spokesperson Tanya Ruder
KPD has not located any records if the department of any calls involving Cabal
Cabal has been an art teacher with KUSD since 2022 and previously worked as an art teacher at Racine Unified
Odin graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2008
Billy Violent’s psychosis is leadering her to believe she’s a man
It already has a sow ring in it’s nose
As someone who had direct contact with him within the school he was kind and cared about his students
I’ve never had a teacher who made me feel more safe and comfortable to be myself in a classroom then Mr.cabal
Please be respectful especially since we still have no idea why he left
start at the top – fire everyone and start over
Indian Trail specifically seems to have major problems with who they employ
You’re acting as though the school board had foresight to these complications
You must be on the school board and upset your being called out for doing a shit job
No foresight needed when they’re complicit and enabling
but when one is receiving the paycheck they are weekly
then one doesn’t really care what’s happening
as long as that check keeps on a coming…
Hopefully the SRO didn’t search the classroom because we all know he wouldn’t find anything
Heard it wasn’t something that should’ve been missed
And kusd is asking for millions of dollars to raise our property taxes in average $600 a year
Everyone needs to vote no in November to this
I am looking forward to officially turning down that referendum
Money sure is not for the students if it passes overpriced administrators get even more money
Weiss will use the recent Madison school shooting as a reason to siphon more money from the community (never let a crisis go to waste)
What’s even more important then voting “no” for the KUSD money grab
is letting Weiss know that he needs to go!
The culture won’t change until him and the rest of the enablers are gone
If you plucked a random name from the phone book ( I know
there are no phone books anymore) they would be better than Weiss
If you picked a random pet from a pet store
Was this the thing that involved the suspended KPD detective
It would be best if you learned how to write
All that school did was brag that they were #1 in the state….obviously #1 in pedophiles
They’ve had minimal compared to many schools
She just decided to pop in and comment on my comments of mutual friends
And I was wondering why she has made a reemergence
She needs some coverage please don’t give it to It/That
They/Who… let dead snakes lie where they are
but staying married to that for as long as he did
I can understand a perversion developing in him🤷🏾♀️
At least have the creativity to make up a fake name
Unable to keep track of all these creeps in Kenosha
Maybe a second advent calendar for Salem Lakes/Bristol/Wilmot
criminals should in no way be affiliated with an Advent calendar 😬😭
Whitney looks rather white or Latina in the photo……
but was claiming to be a Native American to implement the Native American movement some years ago
I think they are just confused on every aspect of life
Race has nothing to do with the article or posts!
She’s a pusillanimous pile of porcein pustules
the person who put that in this article added it to simply make him look worse
If you reread you will see that portion has been taken down
The prerequisite to be employed as a teacher is mental illness
Has Mary Beier at Juvenile court decided if they’re charging the Indian Trail student as an adult yet
WI had another school shooting today Mary…
The DA’s office asks and the juvenile court judge decides
What does Solis say he’ll do with this when he’s in charge very soon
Mr cabal is a great teacher that is caring and kind his passion for helping his students be creative and supporting their visions is amazing he is a great teacher and doesn’t deserve these false accusations
Juvenile intake will send the file over but the actual charging decision is the DA’s call
including whether to seek waiver to adult court
There’s also a way to override an intake decision not to send a file over (unlikely here)
So- is the DAs office “seeking” or requesting adult charges be filed on the kid at school with a gun
who is the public employee refusing to do so
Seemed to happen quickly in every other instance in Kenosha
This should be Solis’ first act then
to keep our kids safe from armed gunmen found inside our high school
Whitney is scum she’s an abuser herself he beats on men she would have previously sexually relationships with
You should have been locked up a long time ago
Hard got his peepee smacked by a wanna be dude and now he’s angry 😂😂
this is horrible i don’t believe this not my bro cabal idk guys personally me i always believed someone’s innocent until proven guilty with EVIDENCE!
The school board needs to make the changes
The people need to vote out these school board members that allow this to continue
It will continue just look at last Thursday vote
To let boys in girl’s bathrooms and sport teams
Wake up voters of KSUD you can stop this madness
What do you suggest they do with the students in the meantime
Mathewson’s fortuitous arrival and his visionary decision to establish KCE in our community
residents have been enlightened with unprecedented insight into the intricate workings of our local public sphere
While the editor’s refreshingly forthright approach to journalism may occasionally discomfort some members of our community
it is precisely this unwavering commitment to truth
that has transformed our local media landscape
We must extend our profound appreciation to the backbone of this journalistic endeavor – We The People – whose invaluable contributions have made this possible
In this remarkable chapter of our community’s history
we finally have both a distinguished platform for public discourse and a dedicated professional who steadfastly pursues truth through meticulous investigation
and fearless publication of matters concerning public interest
and then fired a teacher because of phones
then bringing his personal business onto the internet with no actual evidence of mr cabal doing anything just the fact that he is searching for another career path
There is a whole rule about how we arent allowed to have phones in school and if we are on them we get sent to OSM to turn our phones in for the day
what if something happens and one of us can’t get ahold of our parents because you guys are more worried about phones then the actual deal
maybe the Indian trial needs to get their priorities straight
you guys are more worried about the wrong things
i mean this school obviously doesn’t care about anything besides trying to make the school look good
now everything once in the dark will come to light
and the school is just diggin’ themselves a deeper hole
What does the ex wife have to do with any of this
Sounds like you’re just digging into his personal life in order to get clicks
Maybe find something better to do with your time then create an over fabricated story you know absolutely nothing about
It’s heartwarming to get your property tax bill and see that most of the money goes towards funding this circus
Shocking……she actually looked normal when she was correctly acting as a woman
He was my art teacher and was pretty chill
Besides having is fingernails painted and the way he looked at kids I didn’t see anything wrong
But after hearing this I’m terrified like actually about to crap myself terrified
Also I feel bad for his Ex wife it’s a shame people do that type of stuff but at the end of the day it’s night
— An Indian Trail High School and Academy student could face charges after being found in possession of a gun following an arrest over a social media post depicting a weapon
according to the Kenosha Police Department
Police say that the social media post prompted Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD) staff to take action
This included identifying the individual involved
and collaborating with the Kenosha Police Department
The investigation led to the arrest of a 16-year-old student
he was charged with one count of each of the following:
The teen is currently in a juvenile detention center awaiting a court hearing
Watch: Kenosha parents concerned after police arrest student at school with loaded gun
Police discovered the teen was in possession of a gun only after the student was processed through juvenile intake
despite two officers conducting initial searches
according to a joint statement from the KUSD superintendent and Kenosha police chief
Police said the teen did not use the weapon to threaten students or staff during the school day
The Kenosha Police Department is reviewing the incident to determine whether the officers’ actions followed training standards
and are working with Kenosha Unified to prevent similar incidents in the future
The district will impose disciplinary action in accordance with board policy
The teen's arrest comes just a month after a school shooting scare on Nov

— Two Kenosha police officers received brief suspensions following an internal review into how a firearm went undetected during the arrest of 16-year-old Jaheem Wright
who brought a gun to Indian Trail High School and Academy in December
was suspended for one day without pay and will receive additional training on search procedures
Pittman conducted multiple pat-downs of Wright during the course of the investigation but did not locate the handgun
which was later discovered at the police department
Police Chief Patrick Patton wrote in a Feb
20 disciplinary memo that Pittman followed protocol in removing and questioning the student after a report of a social media post implying he had a weapon
the investigation found the officer did not fully search the student’s front waistband area
Patton acknowledged the complexity of working within a school setting
and investigative needs presents unique challenges
“The stakes at which you work every day are magnified,” he wrote
who has been with the department since 2003
She transported Wright to the police department after the arrest but did not conduct a search beforehand — a step required under department policy
A second internal investigation determined that Kennedy also violated the department’s sick leave policy the following month by leaving her shift early to catch a flight after a vacation request wasn’t approved
Supervisors had advised her of the scheduling issue and offered an alternative
Her early departure left the shift temporarily understaffed
Wright, of Kenosha, was initially charged in juvenile court with felony possession of a dangerous weapon on school grounds and making terrorist threats. A decision is still pending on whether the case will be waived into adult court
all you have to be is different and you get a badge and gun
or bar fly therapist/ lot lizard counselor
I bet those police wish they worked for an employer where not a single employee ever makes an error
it’s at a place where an error like that could not result in a kid getting shot
they did not put the wrong product on the shelf or the wrong price on an item
so according to you this is just some small error that can be looked past
things could have gone a lot worse.In this situation.the officers will probably have to watch some training videos on a computer and maybe a training demonstration and they’ll be done with it
A glock 42 might be easier to hide than a glock 23 (google it)
Tanya is lucky the Pleasant Prairie event didn’t occur
OR even luckier she did not take one to the head
Some bad PR for the KPD SRO…..maybe a change
The second story just shows how she played the system
screwing her shift (figuratively) and she still gets off for vacation
then an unpaid day off to get her housework done….
Kevin is just explaining why she received a 2-day suspension opposed to one-day like the SRO
Why don’t cops have hand held metal detectors
Maybe having it for a backup plan would have been a good option in this case
Is SRO officer a DEI hire because he sure doesn’t have lots of experience on the street
DEI hires and there’s plenty more where they came from
“…investigation but did not locate the handgun
which was later discovered at the police department.”
Was the UNARMED civilian put in that much danger
Patton hasn’t met a black guy he couldn’t wait to promote yet
Even when they don’t meet qualifications or recommended time on the job
Don’t forget the lack of parental support and what in the fuck is wrong with this POS bringing a gun into the school
Love it how its support the police and “thin blue line” bullshit
until the police in question is a Black man… Then the comments talk about clowns and village idiots
Piitman abt to get another disciplinary for pulling people over w/o cause
5 general election contenders are set for Indian Trail Improvement District Seat 2 following this week’s primary election
political newcomer Richard Vassalotti II ran ahead of his five opponents
The retired Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue captain got 40.03 percent (2,543 votes)
according to unofficial returns from the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office
Incumbent Supervisor Keith Jordano finished second with 22.48 percent (1,428 votes)
good enough to earn a spot on the November ballot
Vassalotti said Wednesday that the more time he spent shaking hands and talking to voters
the more he felt the “heartbeat” of the community
“I had a great feeling that I was going to be successful,” he said
Jordano said that the crowded field made it a challenge
“I’m disappointed that I didn’t win outright
I did not expect anyone to get to 50 percent,” he said
“I am glad that I will be advancing to the next round.”
finished third with 12.44 percent (790 votes) in his third try for a seat on the board
Longtime ITID resident Lou Colantuoni finished fourth at 11.56 percent (734 votes)
His employer-employee relationship with Seat 4 incumbent Supervisor Betty Argue was an issue that Vassalotti said was mentioned to him unfavorably by a number of voters
finished far behind with 2.98 percent (189 votes)
is facing a challenge from trucker advocate and local businesswoman Natalia Melian Torres in Melian’s first foray into politics
With only two candidates in the Seat 4 race
Argue and Melian automatically advanced to the general election ballot
Vassalotti said he took the top spot with “a handshake and a smile… [and] a lot of hard work and dedication.”
“People out here know me,” said Vassalotti
who served as PBCFR captain in The Acreage for a number of years
They know my involvement with youth sports
They know they can call on me and depend on me.”
he found their major concerns to be increased taxes
a desire for more services and fending off unwanted annexation while not incorporating as a municipality
was surprised by the nasty tone of the race and the money spent by outside groups to influence the election
“I am glad that enough residents didn’t listen to fake propaganda and gave me enough votes to get to the second round,” he said
“I will work to convince people that I have taken action to keep the taxes down
Jordano added that he has often served as a representative on the board
fighting for residents looking to have specific problems solved — people wanting millings for their roads
people who did not want a church built in the middle of a residential street
residents wanting to get their culvert replaced
“When the residents from Santa Rosa Groves wanted their culvert back in
I said that I believe in democracy and I would fight for them
and they are in the process of getting it back,” he said
adding that he voted against funding a road costing $500,000 that he believes the school district should have paid for
and he has represented ITID at numerous community meetings

(WBTV) - A tornado sounded like “a roar” as it passed through a Union County community on Wednesday morning
The twister touched down at 8:34 a.m. in the area of Friendly Baptist Church Road in Indian Trail, right near Porter Ridge High School, according to the National Weather Service (NWS)
NWS officials said the tornado was only on the ground for about three minutes
The twister was an estimated 75 yards wide and traced a path 2.24 miles long
The tornado left about 1,000 people in the area without power and toppled trees throughout the area
Peggy Allen had a massive tree come down in her yard
but said she felt lucky for that to have been the only damage
“The wind was blowing real hard and all of a sudden the power went out and we heard this big noise,” Allen said
The NWS said nobody was hurt by the quick-moving tornado
but said that a fence and shed was damaged in addition to the downed trees and power outages
A tornado warning had been issued just moments before the twister touched down
NWS officials said the warning was given at 8:31 a.m.
which was just three minutes before it was on the ground
the tornado touched down shortly after students at Porter Ridge High went to their first class of the day
at the middle school -- which is right next door -- students do not start their day until 9:05 a.m
A soccer net at the schools’ campus was reportedly flipped into parked cars
Another tornado warning was issued in Chester County on Wednesday
but it expired within a half hour and nothing came of it

(QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Town leaders are investigating Facebook posts allegedly made by council members Todd Barber and Dennis Gay
Gay claims Barber made several posts on the “Indian Trail Weasel Report” page that weren’t true about things happening in the city
“So I wanted to put the PowerPoint together to show the games that are being played on social media,” said Councilman Dennis Gay.
Gay believes Barber is violating the town’s social media and ethics policy by posting
“Last council meeting, Mr. Gay presented item 9 of the code of conduct under the agenda item “possible social media violation“
It refers to board members shall strive to be truthful and provide information in a factual and objective manner
Gay provided proof for any of the posts he showed was not truthful,” said Councilman Todd Barber
He doesn’t believe that violates the social media policy because it was made by a private citizen.
Barber says Chang Boo is a maiden name and nickname
The latest post Barber’s wife made claimed Mayor David Cohn racially profiled her
The city’s attorney says that the request was authorized in their policy
Gay motioned to have the statement corrected that Cohn was not racist
Barber countered Gay’s presentation with his own rebutting the accusations
He says he doesn’t want an investigation into Gay
Gay insisted the council vote to start one.
The details of the investigation were not provided or how much it would cost the city to conduct the investigation or who would investigate the posts
“He’s already cost us thousands of dollars in attorneys fees and he just goes back and forth
trying to misrepresent what we’re doing
We’re trying to do things great for the town
He was spreading rumors that you couldn’t build on it and it’s just not true,” Gay responded to Queen City News.
Both Gay and Barber say they hope to put the situation behind them when the investigation concludes — and get back to improving the town
see what’s actually going on in town
Somebody puts up something on social media and misrepresents it
They don’t tell you what the town’s trying to do
And I welcome that,” Gay said.
the majority agenda was social media and the people in town
they think Indian Trail is just a dumpster fire
we got streets that they worked on just like the maintenance
how many roads got paved?” Barber said.
Barber says he is not running for re-election when the time comes.
