MUNISING BUS TRANSPORTATION UPDATE - 11.11.22
Starting on the morning of Monday November 14th, Bus 10 (Turtle bus) will be picking up the Powell Lake area students. They will be picked up at the same time that they are being picked up right now by Bus 6 (Deer bus). This change returns the Powell Lake students to the bus they were originally riding. The driver of Bus 10 (Turtle Bus) will complete the rest of the route he has been doing since we condensed from 6 routes to 5 bus routes. Bus 6 (Deer bus) will go back to doing the regular route that was being done prior to changing to 5 routes. If you have any pick up/drop off questions, please contact Lisa Harger-Nelson at

Munising Public Schools Has Two Great PrinciPALS
Please join us in recognizing the amazing service and leadership provided by Nicole Lasak, Munising Middle/High School Principal and WesLee Tweedale, Mather Elementary Principal. These two leaders devote countless hours to their students, staffs, and profession. Most importantly they lead with their hearts and create safe and nurturing environments for students and staff to learn and grow. These two Mustangs are "difference makers"!
Student Mental Health - Community Input Opportunities
The Munising Public Schools is a recipient of a Student Mental Health Grant from funding allocated by Governor Whitmer and the Michigan Legislature. There are numerous allowable expenditures of this funding and we are seeking input to help us establish priorities in serving the mental health needs of our students. The most common and highly prioritized expenditure is the hiring or contracting of support staff for student mental health needs. Post COVID-19 pandemic, most schools are not adequately staffed to address the increased mental health needs of our youth and this funding can certainly help our district in that regard.
The Munising Public Schools (MPS) has previously utilized student screener data and national, state, and community mental health data and resources to conclude that one of the best possible expenditures of these funds for our district is to employ additional trained and licensed staff to address the daily mental health needs of our students. This is especially important considering that accessing affordable mental health services in our area can be very difficult for many families. Community input regarding this potential expenditure and other possible uses of funds can be provided at the 6:00pm Board of Education Meeting on October 25th or via email to Superintendent Travis at mike.travis@mps-up.com. Other allowable expenditures include purchasing and implementing mental health screening tools, products, and services. Additionally, prior to January 31st, Munising Public Schools will host a community mental health and school safety forum to include local partner agencies from community mental health organizations and law enforcement. The purpose of the forum will be to educate the public on the services and efforts already taking place and to seek input regarding possible additional community mental health and student safety needs. It takes a community to raise our youth and together it takes a community to improve our community. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or input.
