Board of Education
Our school board members are entrusted with the important work of shaping the education of our youngest citizens. They dedicate countless hours to creating the mission, vision and goals that drive our schools.
They are dedicated to creating a school culture where collaboration and continuous learning are valued and displayed throughout our system.
The seven members of the Tri County Area Schools Board of Education do this by always keeping children as the center of their work and decision making in order to complete our mission to Educate, Encourage, and Empower our students.

Questions & Concerns
Residents of the community are encouraged to communicate with Tri County Area Schools educators and school board members.
School-related problems can usually best be solved by talking with the employee closest to the problem, i.e. teachers, support staff, principal. It is there that most problems can be quickly and productively resolved.
If questions still remain, please contact the Superintendent. And, if you're convinced that further action is required, your next step is to submit it to the Board of Education. You may address the Board at a board meeting during the Public Comment portion of the agenda or in writing to the Board of Education, 94 Cherry Street, PO Box 79, Sand Lake, MI 49343.
