The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Board of Education approved a limited schools of choice resolution at their January 14th meeting. The resolution allows a minimum of one seat per grade level from Kindergarten through 10th grade and a maximum of 500 seats district-wide. This program welcomes families residing in Wayne County and adjacent counties, including Washtenaw, Macomb, Oakland, and Monroe, to apply for enrollment in P-C-C-S. This marks the 12th consecutive year that P-C-C-S will participate in Schools of Choice under Michigan law. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Monica Merritt, spoke with Assistant Superintendent of Student Services, Kurt Tyszkiewicz, to share more about schools of choice.
