It was great to see all of the smiling faces at school on Tuesday. A lot of work has been done over the summer to create a better environment for our students and it was good to hear their "oohs and ahs" as they looked around at the facilities.
The construction over the summer went very well, on schedule, and just about everything we wanted done, got done. We have 10 renovated bathrooms at the middle school and two elementary schools, all new windows and doors at the elementary schools, and a new "secure" entryway at the middle school. That's been one of my biggest concerns since I became superintendent 3 1/2 years ago.
As you know, the economy in Michigan has not been good the past 3-5 years. It appears Croswell-Lexington Schools have weathered the worst of it and things are looking up. While 95% percent of school districts in Michigan will decline in enrollment this fall, I'm thrilled to report that it appears after the first day that our enrollment has increased. That is extremely good news and I believe it's a mandate of the great things we're doing for kids in our district.
I can honestly tell you that before every decision we make we ask the question "how will this positively impact kids?" With that mantra, I believe you cannot go wrong. As always, feel free to contact me at any time at kmiller@croslex.org
Sincerely,
Kevin D. Miller, Ph.D
Superintendent
