ANN ARBOR, MI – A hearing will determine how much restitution an Ann Arbor Public Schools janitor at the center of allegations in a lawsuit filed by an elementary school principal will need to pay as part of a no contest plea in a case alleging he stole nearly $25,000 from the district.
Willie Joe Johnson, 63, of Belleville, is scheduled for a restitution hearing on June 17 in Washtenaw County district court after a sentencing hearing he attended Thursday, April 22 was adjourned.
If an amount is agreed upon during the restitution hearing, a sentencing could follow immediately afterward, Judge Karen Quinlan Valvo said. Johnson’s attorney and the prosecution currently are trying to determine an appropriate amount of restitution Johnson needs to pay, in addition to the length of his probation term.

ANN ARBOR, MI - Claims that an Ann Arbor Public Schools principal’s placement on leave was racially discriminatory have been dismissed from a lawsuit filed against the district and several of its administrators.
Judge Davis, however, did not dismiss Blick’s claim alleging violation of her First Amendment right to free speech, petition and assembly against the district and the lawsuit’s defendants.
Blick, who is white, ultimately failed to provide sufficient facts to show she suffered an adverse employment action, Davis said in her ruling.
