WayPoint Academy board president defends decision to hire controversial superintendent | MLive.com
Koeze had been superintendent of West Ottawa Public Schools, where she resigned in 2011.
A few days after her departure, Koeze was arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence involving her husband.
The case was later dismissed.
Koeze then worked as a consultant for Portage Public Schools, where she eventually was hired as human resources director.
For a time, Koeze simultaneously collected a paycheck from Portage as human resources director and another check from Portage for her consulting work, an investigation by MLive revealed.
Portage Acting Superintendent Rob Olsen said Koeze hadn't been in the Portage administration building for nearly two weeks.
Initially, Koeze asked for several days off to attend to a family illness, Olsen said, but he had been trying unsuccessfully since last week to reach her and "get her to report back to work."

In a free market, corporations, in pursuing their own best interests, tend to realize their own goals by doing the things that best meet the needs of their customers."

"Unfortunately for union propagandists, U.S. Census Bureau data indicate that Americans of all races are “voting with their feet” in vast numbers against compulsory unionism.
This is actually true to an even greater degree of black Americans."
