KENOSHA, Wis. — A Kenosha mother and wife who says she repeatedly tried to protect students from armed classmates is now fighting to get her job back after being fired by the Kenosha Unified School District, with supporters describing her as a whistleblower.
The woman, who worked for KUSD since 2018 and most recently worked in a general security role at Bradford High School, says she believes she was punished for reporting potential threats involving students with guns. Many people in the community praised the actions of everyone involved in quickly alerting authorities about the possible presence of weapons in school. Coworkers and community members have described the woman as a hero for helping get the information to the right people.
She previously worked in in-school suspension before moving into broader security-related duties.
According to the woman, the first incident happened on Dec. 3, 2024, when a student showed her a photo of another student with a gun in his waistband while that student was allegedly at Indian Trail High School and Academy. She said she immediately used a school phone to call her husband, who was working security at Indian Trail at the time, because she believed he could get the information to the proper people faster.
Within minutes, she said, her husband notified security staff and school administration, who then contacted police. She said district officials later became upset because she did not first notify her own administration.
