The Lake Country Academy, just off of 40th Street in Sheboygan serves Pre-K through eighth-grade students. The public charter school is currently without one of its founders. Carla Koepp has been placed on administrative leave after parents raised concerns about someone in the classroom.
Back in 2006, in Winnebago County, 17-year-old Kristen Cleaver was accused of concealing her pregnancy — eventually giving birth in a bathtub. She was accused of letting her baby drown and then hiding the corpse in a bedroom closet. Her parents noticed a foul smell, and that led to Cleaver pleading no contest to concealing the death of a child. She was sentenced to six months in prison and two years probation.
Parents notified school officials as to Kintopf’s past. School officials say:
Kintopf has subsequently been fired. Carla Koepp will be on administrative leave for the remainder of this school year.
