Dear Suttons Bay Public School Parents/Community Members:
This year we are not facing any type of financial crisis, or midyear layoffs, and I do not want to disrupt the education of our
students by making any drastic changes mid-stream. We are
however still looking to decrease our expenses for next year, and would welcome any ideas and thoughts you might have as it relates to this. So, if you are
someone that would like to talk more on this topic, or learn more about the
Deficit Elimination plan, please contact me via email at [email protected] or my cell is 231-838-2945.
