A Michigan school district is under fire after allegedly bringing students to a restaurant with a stripper pole lounge — and supposedly threatening legal action against the trustee who exposed the scandal.

The incident reportedly took place on Nov. 16, when sixth-grade band and orchestra students from Hart Middle School in Rochester Hills visited Detroit hotspot Niki’s Pizza following a performance by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Located in the Greektown neighborhood, Niki’s Pizza operates in conjunction with Niki’s Lounge, a risqué nightclub.

“The students were moved from Niki’s Pizza due to a lack of available space to the Lounge where they tried out some pole dancing,” Rochester Community Schools (RCS) trustee and parent Andrew Weaver alleged in a Jan. 6 Facebook post .

In addition to a photo of the children playing on the poles, Weaver’s post, which was shared with followers of his blog Finding the Right Answer, includes images of Niki’s adult lounge scene and drinks menu.

Weaver’s post quickly made the rounds on social media, where it was shared on Twitter by @LibsofTikTok. RCS subsequently blocked the controversial account as the story picked up traction.

In a statement to the Daily Caller , RCS executive director of strategic communication Lori Grein denied that the district took students “to an eatery attached to a ‘strip club.’”

“Proposed field trips are evaluated by a curriculum team and require a parental/guardian permission slip,” she continued. 

“The safety and security of our students, staff and school community is always our priority.”

Niki’s owner Agatha Kefallinos told the outlet that the school would have known about the seating arrangements when it made its reservation.

“Typically when we have a group of over 100 people, we give them the option of going to our second floor, which is operated as a club on Saturday nights but is closed during the day,” she explained.

“We’ve been doing this for 20 years. We’ve had dozens of school groups, and there was never an issue.”

Kefallinos also said the metal poles are not stripper poles, but simply “part of the decorations.”

Despite the district’s denial of any wrongdoing, Weaver, who ran for trusteeship on a platform of greater transparency between schools and parents, doubled down on his stance that RCS failed to adequately address the situation.

“As I have stated previously and a key foundation of my promise to the public, there needs to be more focus on the actions that reflect poorly on our District,” he wrote on his trustee Facebook profile on Jan. 8.

“Many community members feel that there is too much time and energy spent trying to stop people from knowing about the actions that reflect poorly on the District while not enough time or energy is spent on actually doing anything about the issue(s) at hand.”

Weaver also accused the district of attempting to intimidate him, writing on Jan. 11 that Superintendent Robert Shaner sent a letter to officials on Dec. 21 encouraging the board to “take immediate action to ensure Mr. Weaver’s compliance with protocol” while threatening to seek “legal redress.”

This is not Weaver’s first run-in with RCS’s thornier side.  He told Kaitlyn Buss of The Detroit News  that, as a parent, he received two cease-and-desist letters from the district over social media posts criticizing pandemic policies and remote learning.

He also says Shaner filed a police report against him for making “false allegations and insults” during an exchange over masks at a school board meeting.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the district denied any threats against Weaver.

“On Dec. 21, 2022, Dr. Shaner provided a letter to the Board of Education. The correspondence reinforced the need for a new board member to comply with board bylaws and the code of cooperation so that the district’s focus can remain on the education of all RCS students,” the statement read.

“The letter did not include any threats.”

Speaking to The Post on Friday, Weaver said he nevertheless remains undeterred in his crusade for accountability.

“As of today, there has been no public acknowledgment that there was an issue [on the field trip] or what would be done to prevent something like this from happening again,” he lamented.

“Failure to address issues such as this not only negatively impacts the community’s trust but also opens our staff to unneeded risk.”  

Rochester Community Schools and Shaner did not reply to The Post’s requests for comments.

KENNY CHESNEY SUN GOES DOWN 2024 TOUR

18 Stadiums, Old Friends, New Friends, No Shoes Nation

After His Intimate I Go Back 2023 Tour, the Eight-Time Entertainer of the Year

Brings Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney & Uncle Kracker

Heads to Detroit’s Ford Field on August 10, 2024

DETROIT – Kenny Chesney knows how to throw the summer into high gear. Having spent last spring and early summer with his taking-it-to-the-roots I Go Back 2023 Tour of those arenas and markets where he rose to major headlining status, the only country artist to be on Billboard ’s Top 10 Touring Artists of the Last 25 Years for the past 14 years is bringing old friends and new to 18 full-scale stadiums with a few more major surprises to come. 

Joining Chesney is the multiple GRAMMY-winning Zac Brown Band , enjoying their 12th CMA Group of the Year nomination; 2023 CMA Song of the Year and New Artist nominee Megan Moroney ; and multiple-week No. 1 “When The Sun Goes Down” duet partner Uncle Kracker , known for his own hits “Follow Me” and “Drift Away.” 

“I wanted a name that suggested – obviously – when all the good stuff starts to happen. The one thing I’ve learned about No Shoes Nation and these stadium shows is they start the good times 

early and they just keep it going,” Chesney says of his 2024 tour name. “But we all know, when the sun goes down, that’s when people really get loose and enjoy themselves. 

“That was the thing about Kracker and my song. It captured a vibe and a moment so perfectly. No matter how much fun you’re having all day long, ‘ everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...’ I know from years of experience that’s true. 

“So, I can’t wait to get back out there, stadium-sized ’cause there’s nothing like 60,000 members of No Shoes Nation singing these songs. It’s gonna be awesome.” 

Kicking off April 20, 2024 at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, the tour will run through August 23 at Foxborough, Mass.’s Gillette Stadium for what has become a tradition: closing out the tour in a venue Chesney has played to well over a million people. Tickets for these major stadium shows will go on-sale next Friday, Nov. 17. 

“Zac Brown Band understands high-energy country, the same way Alabama did, and they’ve got our friend Caroline Jones in their line-up now, too,” Chesney says of the group joining as direct support. “Megan Moroney isn’t just one of the smart new voices in country, she’s really bringing a sense of heart and joy to the music – and I’m fired up to be bringing her out to No Shoes Nation. 

“And Uncle Kracker has been part of so many fun times, crazy moments and memories made, it always kicks things up a notch when he’s out there with us. So, it really is old friends, new friends and a whole lotta love.”

School Staff Took 6th Graders To Lounge With Stripper Poles After Field Trip & Parents Are Outraged

Not the best idea for a field trip..

Written on Jan 13, 2023

A school district in Michigan has come under fire after a field trip full of sixth graders ended at a rather inappropriate location.

The incident reportedly took place in November 2022, when a class of sixth-grade band and orchestra students from Hart Middle School in Rochester Hills were taken to see the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

However, it wasn't until the end of the trip that things took a drastic turn.

School district under fire for taking sixth graders on a field trip that ended at a lounge with stripper poles.

During the course of the students' trip, the class was taken to eat lunch at Niki's Pizza, which is connected to Niki's lounge, a strip club in Detroit.

When the students arrived at the restaurant, they were unable to sit due to overcrowding and were promptly moved to Niki's lounge, where a slew of students was photographed swinging on the stripper poles.

A middle school teacher in @rochcommschools allegedly took students to a strip club where they tried out pole dancing during a field trip. The story is being publicized now by a board trustee after the district has reportedly refused to address it. pic.twitter.com/QpjyWaeKGx — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) January 10, 2023

Andrew Weaver, a parent, and trustee for the Rochester Community Schools (RCS) posted to his Facebook page, Finding the Right Answer, that Hart Middle School students were “taken to lunch at Niki’s Pizza which is attached to Niki’s Lounge.”

The students were then “moved from Niki’s Pizza due to a lack of available space to the Lounge, where they tried out some pole dancing,” Weaver wrote.

Weaver also included photos of Niki's lounge , which included an alcohol-stocked bar, and a menu with more options for alcoholic drinks.

Another image showed the class of sixth graders dancing on the floor-to-ceiling poles in the lounge, which were placed on raised platforms.

The owner of the lounge revealed the school knew about limited seating in the pizzeria.

In a statement to the Daily Caller , the owner of Niki's Pizza/Lounge, Agatha Kefallinos, explained that the middle school knew in advance that they would be moved to sit in the lounge.

Kefallinos revealed that when the reservation was made, the school was informed that the restaurant could not accommodate the large group of students anywhere but upstairs in Niki’s Lounge.

“When we have a group of 100, they can’t just walk in. There is no way we could accommodate them,” Kefallinos said. “We can only accommodate a certain number in the restaurant."

"Typically when we have a group of over 100 people, we give them the option of going to our second floor, which is operated as a club on Saturday nights but is closed during the day.”

She continued, saying that the host of the restaurant and the school liaison would have exchanged several phone calls discussing the middle school's lunch reservation.

Kefallinos added that it was "absolutely made known to them" that the class of sixth graders would have to be placed in the upstairs lounge.

However, the executive director for RCS chose to negate the entire incident, telling the Daily Caller that "Rochester Community Schools did not take students on a field trip to an eatery attached to a ‘strip club.'”

$25 tickets, stadium spectaculars highlight 2024 concert season in metro Detroit

The days are getting longer. The temperatures are getting warmer. And the nights are about to get a lot louder.

For millions of music fans across metro Detroit and Michigan, summertime spells prime concert season, and there’s another bonanza of stuff on the way for 2024.

The summer schedule will feature acts from across the spectrum — rock, country, hip-hop, pop, R&B, electronic music and more — as part of the humming array of live music at big venues, small clubs, major festivals and community events.

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

At Pine Knob Music Theatre, the state’s leading summer music hot spot, the roasted-almond stands and drink machines have already revved up for a season that will feature nearly 50 concert nights.

On Thursday, the Clarkston amphitheater — which traditionally has ranked among the most-attended summer venues in the U.S. — notched the earliest start in its half-century history with a rock bill featuring the bands Primus, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle.

The Pine Knob action will resume May 22 with Neil Young, part of a five-month season scheduled to wrap up Sept. 28 with WRIF-FM’s Riff Fest, headlined by the veteran hard rock band Godsmack.

The 2024 season doesn’t wield quite the firepower that ruled in 2023, when Detroit’s summer calendar was loaded with mega draws such as Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Morgan Wallen, Drake and Ed Sheeran. Ford Field, the region’s largest venue, hosted nine shows and more than half a million concertgoers for the busiest stretch of music in the stadium’s 22-year history.

Indeed, last year was the biggest ever for the North American concert business, as the live-events industry continued to revel in a post-pandemic rebound: The top 100 tours alone generated $6.63 billion in grosses, according to data collected by the trade magazine Pollstar, with at least $1 billion of that coming from Swift’s Eras Tour.

This summer is teeming with hot shows, and here we break out some highlights for what's coming through October. Note that these bullet points — along with the assorted venue schedules we're providing at freep.com — are just a taste: There's plenty more notable and compelling stuff ahead at spaces big and small across southeast Michigan.

Concerts galore: Long list of artists coming to metro Detroit venues this summer

$25 concert tickets

The 10th edition of Live Nation’s Concert Week promotion will start Wednesday and run through May 14, with more than 170 Michigan shows offering $25 seats. Dates include shows at Comerica Park, Little Caesars Arena, Pine Knob and other metro Detroit amphitheaters, along with theaters and clubs across the state. Details: livenation.com/concertweek

Promoter AEG Presents is offering its own $25 tickets , on sale Tuesday through May 15, for shows at the Masonic Temple Theatre and Royal Oak Music Theatre, including Sum 41 (Sept. 14), Lyle Lovett (July 23) and Daryl Hall’s coheadlining visit with Elvis Costello (July 8).

For both promotional events, the discounted tickets are billed as "all-in" — meaning $25 flat, with no service fees or other charges.

Stadium spectaculars

Ford Field will follow its record-setting concert year with a trifecta of country nights, starting with Zach Bryan on June 20. It's part of a fast, remarkable rise for the Oklahoma artist and U.S. Navy veteran, whose only Detroit show until now was a Majestic Theatre gig in 2021.

He'll be followed at the downtown stadium by George Strait (July 13) and Kenny Chesney with the Zac Brown Band (Aug. 10).

For Chesney, this will be the 12th headlining performance in the Lions’ den, the most for any artist since the stadium's 2002 opening. His August visit with Zac Brown will feature Detroit’s Uncle Kracker in the opening slot.

At Comerica Park, there are two shows on the docket: Def Leppard and Journey will serve up rock hits July 18, while Green Day will bring its Savior Tour with guests Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid on Sept. 4.

Welcome back

The summer schedule includes a handful of folks we haven’t seen in a while, including the reunited rock band Creed, which will play Pine Knob on July 31 before returning Nov. 20 for a night at LCA. Those will be the first Creed shows here in 12 years for Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti and company.

Smooth-singing George Strait, a pioneer of country music stadium concerts, will make his first Michigan appearance since his avowed retirement tour in 2014. Strait is now firmly back in the saddle and headed to Ford Field on July 13 with Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town in support.

Hip-hop veteran and freshly minted Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Missy Elliott, meanwhile, will play the first Detroit headlining show of her career when she hits LCA on Aug. 15 with Busta Rhymes and Ciara. Her last major Motor City performance came as part of Eminem's Ford Field stand in 2003.

Neil Young has been no stranger to Michigan venues in recent years, but his May 22 Pine Knob visit will be the first with his band Crazy Horse since 2004.

Festival feats

The Movement festival will hold down its traditional Memorial Day weekend spot on Detroit’s riverfront as the much-loved techno event returns to Hart Plaza, May 25-27. Performers on six stages will include headliners Fatboy Slim, Richie Hawtin and Solomun, part a lineup of international acts and Detroit veterans — including hometown musical pioneer Kevin Saunderson in a set with actor-DJ Idris Elba.

On Michigan’s west side, Electric Forest will kick into action June 20-23, presenting another sprawling lineup of electronic artists and jam bands, with headliners to include Pretty Lights, String Cheese Incident, Disco Biscuits, Charlotte de Witte and more.

Faster Horses, July 19-21 at Michigan International Speedway, will reassert its status as one of the biggest country music events in the U.S., this time with a country-rock crossover bill led by Hardy, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson.

Concert of Colors, set for Midtown Detroit, July 15-21, will unveil full details this week, including the fest's artist lineup, an expanded venue list and a new series of neighborhood events happening throughout the summer.

For Labor Day weekend, a pair of local traditions will return: The Detroit Jazz Festival will take over downtown with a four-day lineup led by drummer great Brian Blade, the 2024 artist-in-residence. Arts, Beats & Eats will be back in Royal Oak for its 27th installment, with performers to be announced later this summer.

And the latest edition of Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival, boasting a heavyweight lineup that includes Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp, will make its way to Pine Knob Sept. 15.

Big crop of country

Country music has wrangled an increasingly significant role on the summer touring circuit, and that will play out this season in amphitheaters such as Pine Knob, where highlights include the top-notch Tyler Childers and a doubleheader from Luke Bryan as part of the WYCD Hoedown (June 28-29).

Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights is brimming with country offerings, including Parker McCollum (June 8), Billy Currington (June 14) and Brothers Osborne (June 15), along with several acts of the outlaw variety: Whiskey Myers (July 6), Jamey Johnson (July 18) and Cody Jinks (Aug. 17).

Top of the pops

Irish singer-songwriter Hozier, who broke big with “Take Me to Church" in 2013 and just topped charts across the world with “Too Sweet,” will headline Pine Knob on May 31. Other biggies at the amphitheater include Maroon 5 (June 21), Janet Jackson (July 2), Imagine Dragons (Aug. 12) and Glass Animals (Aug. 24).

LCA will also welcome brotherly trio AJR on June 30 and Jennifer Lopez on July 31. Billie Eilish, fresh off another round of Grammy and Oscar wins, will arrive Oct. 7 for the second Detroit arena performance of her career, while Pink will serve up a twofer there Oct. 14-15.

Meghan Trainor, playing metro Detroit for the first time in eight years, will wrap up Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre's season when she performs Sept. 30.

R&B treasure trove

The Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre will fill Detroit’s riverfront with soulful sounds and smooth jazz, kicking off its season June 5 with Lalah Hathaway and a summer of Motor City favorites including the Isley Brothers (June 16), Kem (Aug. 2) and Sheila E (Aug. 14). More shows at the Aretha will be announced in coming weeks.

Following his big comeback moment at the Super Bowl halftime show, Usher is headed to Little Caesars Arena for a Sept. 12-13 doubleheader on his Past Present Future hits tour.

Also at LCA, Jhené Aiko will bring her Magic Hour Tour on June 19, Xscape and SWV will summon ’90s energy Aug. 9, and Maxwell will serenade audiences Oct. 11.

A Latin phenomenon

Last month, Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny notched a milestone show at a sold-out Little Caesars Arena, drawing 16,000-plus for a night of all-Spanish-language pop music. There's some broader context to that Detroit breakthrough: The Recording Industry Association of America, which tracks streaming stats and album sales, recently reported that Latin music revenues in the U.S. hit $1.4 billion last year, up 16% from 2022.

Now, less than a year after his own local sellout at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre, Mexican singer Peso Pluma is poised to headline LCA on June 1 as Latin music’s growth accelerates in Detroit. Following the summer concert season, Colombia's Shakira will play the same downtown arena Dec. 15 as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour.

Homegrown hot nights

Beyond the array of local talent you’ll find nightly across metro Detroit’s clubs and bars, there are some notable homecoming performances in store: Gladwin-bred rapper NF will play the biggest Michigan show of his career with a May 14 visit to LCA, while Detroit metalcore quintet I Prevail is set for a July 13 headlining spot at Pine Knob.

Motown mainstay Kem will light up the Aretha amphitheater on Aug. 2, and there’s an exciting new jazz project from some well-pedigreed local veterans: Don Was, Dave McMurray and Luis Resto will make their Motor City debut as the Pan-Detroit Ensemble on May 24 at Orchestra Hall.

A swan song

There’s always an end of the road, and this summer’s most notable goodbye will come from Jeff Lynne’s ELO, whose Over and Out Tour plays LCA on Oct. 9, putting a bow on a 54-year run for the adventurous pop-rock project once known as Electric Light Orchestra.
