Message from Superintendent Dr. VanWagoner
November 6, 2024
Dear Community & Staff,
With heartfelt gratitude, I wish to thank our voters for passing the 10-year operating millage renewal for Traverse City Area Public Schools. The passage of this millage allows our district to collect our state per pupil foundation allowance which provides TCAPS with the necessary revenue to support day-to-day expenses such as staffing, utilities, supplies, materials, and all costs associated with educational and co-curricular programs. On behalf of all TCAPS staff, thank you for your continued support of students and public education.
I also wish to congratulate Scott Newman-Bale and Josey Ballenger on their re-elections and welcome Ty Schmidt on being elected to TCAPS Board of Education. Ty will fill the seat of current Trustee Flournoy Humphreys who will complete her term in December. All three will begin their service on January 1, 2025.
Sincerely,
John R. VanWagoner II, Ph.D.
Superintendent
