North Central Accreditation Approval

I'm sure many of you have heard that BAISD accreditation has been extended. This is great news. I would like to thank everyone that assisted with the two-year report. I would like to extend a special thanks to Brenda Peppel and Dave Sevener for all their efforts in the completion and submittal of our report.

Opportunity 

This past week I had the opportunity to visit a number of programs and classrooms. I can't thank staff enough for all you do for and with our students. So many great things are happening every day. This truly is a great place to work.

Race To The Top

By now I'm sure you have heard that Michigan did not receive RTTT funding in the first round. I have been told that the State might reapply in June. That decision has yet to be made. As more information unfolds, I will keep you posted.

Governor's Retirement Plan

This, too, is still up in the air. I'm told that we will see some bills coming forward in the near future. Something will need to happen soon so that people can make plans. As I hear more information, I will pass it along.

Reminder

Please keep your heat on 68° during the winter months and the air conditioning at 72° during the summer months. This really helps to keep our costs down and we appreciate your help with this process.
