Please be aware that there will be no entry available to the weight room, high school gym, and the track entrance (by the pavilion) due to construction. While we realize this is a dead week for our athletics, we wanted to make sure that our parents and community members were aware of this temporary change in access.

Did you know the current school funding structure in Michigan was created by Proposal A in the 1990s?
Here's one crucial thing to understand:
Our school district relies on non-homestead millage to receive the base per-pupil foundation allowance (lowest/minimal). All public school districts in Michigan pass this millage, but it can be confusing when people see positive changes in the school district, like construction, and assume we're well-funded. We have different funding streams (or buckets): General Fund (non-homestead), Construction (tax-neutral 2022 bond), and Maintenance (sinking fund, 2020).
It's essential to clarify that this millage is required to keep our lights on and pay our teachers and staff. The millage funds staff and teacher wages and this funding has been in place for normal operations for a very long time since the inception of Proposal A. Without it, we would lose critical funding that supports our everyday operations.
