The head of the Madison School District’s after-school recreational program was placed on leave Thursday after being arrested and tentatively charged with multiple counts of possession of child pornography.

Jacob D. Tisue, 44, of McFarland, was booked into the Dane County Jail, the McFarland Police Department said in a statement. The case is being reviewed by the Dane County District Attorney’s Office.

Tisue has served as executive director of Madison School & Community Recreation since 2017, according to an online social media profile.

He previously served as Warner Park facility manager starting in 2014 and as Cottage Grove parks, recreation and forestry director before that, dating back to 2006.

He also has worked as a canoe/kayak instructor for Rutabaga Outdoor Programs and as a teacher of recreation management at Madison Area Technical College.

The Madison School District placed Tisue on leave Thursday after learning about his arrest, spokeswoman Rachel Strauch-Nelson said. The district is cooperating with the investigation, she said.
