On July 21 the Marquette Area Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to support proposed upgrades to district athletic facilities.  This project will involve construction of a new concession and lavatory building, a ticketing booth and lighted patio areas.  These facilities will replace current structures located within the stadium.  The Board’s July 21 action provides $375,322 from the school system’s Capital Projects Fund to support this initiative.  Click the "read more" below to access the full article on this and more current district information...

Following extended study, consideration of options, and public discussions, the Marquette Area Public Schools Board of Education determined that a revised model of district governance might better serve our community and the Board’s contribution to quality school programs.  Beginning July 1, 2008, and to better accommodate board decision-making processes, MAPS’ seven-member Board will now work through two major committees. Click the "read more" below to access the full article on this and more current district information...

Marquette Area Public Schools’ June 9 Board of Education meeting included discussion regarding implementation of proposed K-3 Classroom Consolidation recommendations.  That board meeting provided our community with a second opportunity to weigh in on an important topic.  The session's information was included in a Power Point which contained information brought into focus during the Board of Education's June 4 work session.  Please take time to review the following slides that were part of the June 9 board meeting.  If you would like to discuss aspects of this topic, please feel free to contact me via email (jhartwig@mapsnet.org) or telephone (906-225-5326).  Second, the Board of Education is interested in determining whether a second work session regarding proposed K-3 classroom consolidation is needed.  Please contact me if you have interest in attending another board work session.

Thanks for your time,

Jon Hartwig, Superintendent of Schools
