Community members take part in an activity about what they want to see in the Michigan Area Schools during a Town Hall meeting Monday night. On a piece of paper, they placed sticky notes with ideas about what they would like to see more of, keep what they have, or see less of.
MCAS Board of School Trustees member Michael Gresham speaks about what his group discussed. He said helping students be better prepared for opportunities, even those that don’t exist yet, is something he’d like to see going forward.
Those in attendance are not just parents. Students and teachers, as well as alumni and school staff, also take part in the meeting to make their voices heard as MCAS works toward its new strategic plan.
