Okemos Public Schools, originally organized in 1849, now represents a area in north-central Ingham County in Okemos, Michigan adjacent to East Lansing, Michigan (home of Michigan State University) and four miles (6 km) east of Lansing, Michigan. The school district includes approximately two-thirds of Meridian Township, Michigan and portions of Alaiedon and Williamstown townships. In 2005-06, the district enrolled 4,210 students and employed 298 teachers, 19 administrators, and 233 support personnel. In 2009, the Okemos school board decided, after intense public debate, on a broad reorganization of the district's elementary and middle schools. One goal of the reorganization was to close budget deficits resulting from lagging tax revenues and declining enrollments. Another was to improve teaching by consolidating each grade level at a few schools, allowing more contact and specialization among teachers at each level. In Fall 2010, Wardcliff and Edgewood Elementary Schools closed. Kindergarten to 4th grade students from Wardcliff and Central were reassigned to Cornell, Bennett Woods, and Hiawatha; and the public Montessori program moved from Edgewood to Central. All 5th and 6th graders now attend Kinawa Middle School, and all 7th and 8th graders now attend Chippewa Middle School. Edgewood is now home to Okemos Community Education, which also houses their Childcare Program and Pre-School Program. ==Schools== Okemos Public Schools is made up of four elementary schools, one () building, one () building and one high school. *Bennett Woods Elementary *Cornell Elementary *(Okemos Public Montessori at Central ) *Hiawatha Elementary *Chippewa 7-8 School *Kinawa 5-6 School *Okemos High School 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Okemos Public Schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
