In March 2011 Don Senti, interim superintendent of the Parkway School District in St. Louis County, Missouri, said Dye was on administrative leave from her position at the school at her own request. Her decision, granted "out of respect for her privacy and that of her family," came after a student inquired about her pornographic career. The district said Dye passed background checks before being hired as a teacher in 2007, but it did not know about her past until the student found out about it online, because her career in the industry was legal and her references did not discuss it. A district representative said Parkway contacted the Kentucky school to verify her references in 2007, and no mention of her suspension or stint in porn was made.
