• Schulte families alerted Jan. 7 after ‘inappropriate' student video sparks investigation (racinecountyeye.com) — Families in the Mount Pleasant area with children at Schulte K-8 were alerted that Racine County deputies are investigating an off-campus, student-made video described as sensitive but not a school safety threat. The principal says the video was not filmed on school grounds or during school hours, and details are limited because multiple juveniles are involved. Parents are urged not to share the video or rumors online while the investigation continues.
