Muskegon Heights School Leadership in Flux | Grand Rapids News

Muskegon Heights Public School Academy System is in urgent need of a new superintendent after Lakisha Loudermill’s mysterious exit in July—just before the school year began—with no official explanation. Michelle Kyles, acting superintendent and executive director of Teachers First (the current management company), is leading the interim effort, though this marks the third management firm the district has partnered with since 2023. With unanswered questions from community members and leadership, the search for a permanent leader officially launched on August 22, offering $140K annually and closing November 23. The district, serving just 427 students and the only public option in town, is grappling with instability, past financial woes, and legal troubles as it seeks a stable path forward.
