EAST TROY, Wis. — Worry and concern among East Troy parents after a “list” was seen circulating in the middle school. It sparked parents to reach out to TMJ4 News for more transparency from the school district.

The district would not do an on-camera interview but did release two statements saying the rumored “hit list” was actually a “ship list,” meaning a relationship list.
