ANN ARBOR, Mich - Ann Arbor Public Schools is seeking the advice of 8-year-olds on how to cut $25 million from the district’s budget, a move forced by financial mismanagement since the pandemic.
“Students in grades 3 through 8 will have the opportunity to share their feedback by completing age-appropriate surveys in school after Spring Break,” AAPS officials wrote in a letter to parents last week. “Members of the district leadership team have also been meeting with diverse, representative groups of students to hear directly from them about their priorities regarding their school experiences.
“We plan to visit as many schools as possible over the coming weeks to engage with staff and students to get feedback and input,” the letter read.
The student outreach is in addition to a survey of staff, parents, high school students, and community members, as well as three community meetings scheduled for April 8.
