Battle Creek Public Schools

The study of the Class of 2019’s junior year SAT scores shows only 34.6 percent of Michigan’s public school students are determined to be “college ready”.

Fremont International Academy is set to open in fall 2019, and will initially offer up education for students entering pre-K through second grade.

A former member of the Battle Creek Public Schools school board was ordered to trial Tuesday on charges of possession of child pornography after waiving a preliminary examination.

The Career Academies are a "high school experience...centered around small, interest-based learning communities" that are a "key component of the transformation of BCPS" that the district has undertaken in recent years.

The BCPS says that while most district employees are compensated for days missed due to inclement weather, many hourly and contract employees were not.

Public Meeting will showcase new initiatives

The Battle Creek Public School’s Board of Education approved the plan to reopen Fremont Elementary as a Magnet School at their meeting Monday.

54-year-old Eric Jankowski resigned earlier this week by email to the school board president, citing personal reasons.

The Michigan State Police announced $25 million in grants last month to help 188 districts across the state, including the Battle Creek Public Schools and Marshall Community Schools. The BCPS received $560,000, and Marshall got $1 million.

The Battle Creek Public Schools held their board meeting Monday, and afterwards the announcement was made that a plan is being worked on to reopen Fremont Elementary School as a Magnet School.
