At-Risk Funding
The district is committed to transparency and accountability in the use of Section 31a (At-Risk) funds provided by the Michigan Department of Education. These funds support programs and services designed to help students overcome barriers to academic success. The annual Section 31a report summarizes how funds were used, the students served, and the outcomes achieved through these supports. Reporting requirements include tracking student participation and progress, implementing evidence-based interventions through a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), and submitting program and fiscal information to the state each year.

Survey Results:
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting student well-being and fostering positive school experiences, the district is sharing results from the Spring Student Surveys. These surveys provided students with an opportunity to reflect on their relationships with teachers and other school staff, as well as their social-emotional health and sense of belonging at school. The feedback gathered helps us better understand students' experiences and guides our efforts to create supportive, inclusive learning environments where all students can thrive.
