Message from TCAPS Board of Education
Board Vacancy Announced
Dear Staff and Community,
At the Board of Education meeting held Monday, February 10, 2025, Trustee Andrew Raymond announced his resignation from TCAPS Board of Education. Raymond shared his decision was made after careful consideration of the time and commitment necessary to the position, having recently been named the next Chief Executive Officer for Kalkaska Memorial Health Center.
I sincerely thank Trustee Raymond for his four years of service to the Board of Education. He provided a calming demeanor and led with focus and dedication. While it is sad to lose such a valued board member, I am confident others will continue his efforts to maximize opportunities for all who teach and learn at TCAPS.
