We concluded Educator Appreciation Week with our Celebration of Learning. There was cake, a video honoring staff members, awards, a barbecue, and plenty of camaraderie. Congratulations to the entire Allegan Area ESA staff on a successful 2022-23 school year. #beboldandthrive

The Allegan County Literacy Coaches spent the day collaborating at the Allegan Area ESA and enjoyed a beautiful walk on the Armintrout-Milbocker Nature Preserve Trail.

This week the House and Senate passed their versions of the Fiscal Year 2024 school aid budget. I am pleased to announce that I am excited about these recommended numbers. These recommendations are historic in size, scope, and potential impact on the students and families served by Allegan Area ESA.
Some of the key recommendations include:
Historic funding for special education
Increased Early Literacy funding
Groundbreaking changes to Great Start Readiness Program services and funding
Including ISDs (like Allegan Area ESA) eligible for mental health and safety funding
Increased funding to support the well-being of students and staff
I am grateful to the subcommittees, led by former teachers, for their excellent work. I thank our area legislators for continuing to put our students first and placing a priority on their education and well-being. Thus, supporting our vision to "Ensure every learner, school, and community thrives".
I look forward to working together with our legislators to ensure future academic success for all students.
Yours in Education,
William Brown
Allegan Area ESA Superintendent
