Q: Does a district have to pay for books for a student enrolled under the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Act (AKA dual enrollment)?

A:  No, as of today! FYI: the questions is now being addressed by the Michigan Attorney General - based on a 70's case regarding a district's responsibility for K-12 supplies and books.  Staff at the MDE expect a ruling this summer.  Stay tuned!

Q:  Our board allows children of nonresident employees to attend our district.  If the employee is laid off, can the children still attend?

A.  If the lay-off occurs during the middle of the school year, the children may remain in the district until the end of that school year only.  However, the children may not attend the following school year (unless under the school of choice provision or with permission from the district of residence).
