Latest news on school funding and architectural plans

The November 20 deadline has passed for our legislature to enact revenue enhancements to halt additional funding cuts. The governor now says that all Michigan school districts will see another $127 per pupil cut beginning with our December 20 state aid payment. That brings the total cut to $292 per child, or more than $630,000 reduction for Croswell-Lexington Schools.

On the positive side, we have put the final stamp of approval on the renovation and addition plans for the high school. The architectural drawings are extremely impressive. If you get a chance to stop by the high school, see our principal, Mr. Kerhoulas, to look at the plans.

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is upon us. Where has the fall gone? I hope you have a great holiday weekend with your families and that we all take time to be thankful for what we have.

Sincerely,

Kevin Miller, Ph.D.
Cros-Lex Superintendent
