Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, September 24th, 7:35 am

What once was a desperately underutilized program now is providing vital morning nutrition to over 68,000 more school children across Michigan.
 
The Michigan School Breakfast Challenge, launched by state Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan two years ago, has been a resounding success in providing nearly 12 million more school breakfasts during that time.
 
“So many local school districts stepped up in a way that will have a long-lasting impact on their students and their communities,” Flanagan said.

BAS - Monthly Updates from Your Superintendent

Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 16th, 1:50 pm

From: http://www.bas-k12.org

This will be the first in a series of monthly updates regarding the budget. The budget is an area that most people are not terribly familiar with and my hope is that keeping you updated throughout the year will help. These updates are meant to give you the facts as we have them at any given point.

In June, our Board of Education adopted a budget that was approximately $600,000 in deficit. They adopted this knowing that by the end of the 2010-2011 school year, our fund equity would then be at a level that would potentially put us back in borrowing mode to make payroll for fall of 2011 (just under 15%). Borrowing for payroll means we will have to pay approximately $90,000 in interest (about the cost of one teacher), further increasing our expenses.

GPS - Back to School Advice

Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, September 7th, 7:45 am

From: http://www.greenville.k12.mi.us

Here are a few steps that parents can take to help smooth the transition back to school:

1. Before buying back-to-school clothing, check the school’s dress code to ensure that your child will be in compliance (see the
enclosed flyer).

2. If it’s a transition year for your child from middle school to high school or if your child is new to the district, visit the school
to familiarize them with the building.

3. Many new high school students are anxious about their ability to master the combination lock on their locker. When you
visit the school, have your child practice unlocking their locker.

4. If your child participates in sports, make sure that they have had a recent physical exam (after April 15, 2010), and that the
proper forms have been completed and returned to the school.

These changes provided temporary incentives to those teachers, administrators, and support staff members who were eligible to retire, to do so. While these changes were not without warning, they did cause many dedicated Greenville staff members to act quickly.
