💬 The Teacher Education class at the Tech Center had thoughtful questions about the lack of a state budget and how it could impact their experience. Superintendent William Brown joined both the AM and PM sessions to answer their questions and engage in an open conversation.
He was impressed by the students’ awareness, concerns, and the depth of their questions. 👏
It was a powerful example of students connecting classroom learning with real-world issues that affect education. 📚✨

🚌 School's Back! Don’t Pass the Bus. 🛑
Just like a red traffic light—when a school bus stops and flashes red lights, Michigan law requires you to STOP at least 20 feet away. 🚦 Both directions must stop—unless a raised barrier separates traffic.
⚠️ Amber lights = slow down. The bus is preparing to stop—don’t speed through.
❌ Passing a stopped bus is illegal. Fines range from $100–$500—and in school zones, fines double. Many buses also have stop-arm cameras—if you pass, you could get a ticket in the mail.
💛 Let’s keep Michigan’s kids safe. Follow the law, protect lives.

🚨 Michigan schools are still waiting on a state budget. Without one, our district risks losing the October 20 funding we need to pay staff, run buses, and support student programs.
💙 Please contact your lawmakers and urge them to keep the School Aid Fund dedicated to K–12 education. Our students deserve a stable, fully funded school year.
