Good afternoon Mustangs,
The Midland County Department of Public Health has issued a press release regarding respiratory health considerations following the wildland fire in Sanford.
Weare using the Air Quality Index (AQI) to guide our decisions about outdoor activities. Currently, Sanford is in the “good” range, therefore students will be going outside this afternoon for outdoor activities. We will continue to monitor the air quality on campus and utilize the AQI as a key tool in our decision-making process.
As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We will remain in contact with the Midland County Department of Public Health, Jerome Township Fire Department, and Midland County 911 to monitor the situation. We will provide updates as needed. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you, and have a great day! #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs

Dear Meridian Public Schools Community,
On behalf of the Meridian Public Schools Board of Education, I am delighted to share that our recent renewal of the Non-homestead Operating Millage has been successfully passed!
The approval of this renewal ensures a stable foundation for years to come, supporting essential resources and programs that are vital to our educational mission. From employee compensation and classroom supplies to safety measures, technology enhancements, and extracurricular activities like athletics and band, this funding secures the continued excellence of our educational offerings.
To the entire Mustang community, thank you for placing your trust in us. Your belief in our mission to provide an educational environment that fosters curiosity and lifelong learning, both in and out of the classroom, has made this all possible.
The passage of the Non-homestead Operating Millage Renewal symbolizes the collective strength and unity of our Mustang community. Together, we demonstrate our steadfast dedication to the success of our students and the creation of a promising future for generations of Mustangs to come.
Thank you once again for your support and belief in the future of Meridian Public Schools. We remain committed to helping our students “Reach Higher” and expanding learning opportunities for all our students!
All the best,
Sarah M. Glann, Superintendent
📣 REMINDER: There is an important item on the ballot TODAY, Tuesday, August 6th election for the voters in Meridian Public School District. This millage is a significant part of our district’s funding, contributing over $1.7 million to our annual operating budget. Polls are open until 8pm today.
📌 Key Points About the Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal:
• The ballot will propose the renewal of the non-homestead millage.
• This millage is levied on commercial, industrial, and rental properties, not on owner-occupied homes.
• The renewal is crucial for maintaining our current educational programs and facilities.
• The millage represents significant funding, equivalent to maintaining numerous resources, programs and staff within our district.
• All Meridian Public School District residents are eligible to vote on this matter, regardless of whether the millage directly impacts their property taxes. Your vote directly impacts our students, ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive.
For any inquiries regarding the millage or the upcoming election, please feel free to visit our website www.merps.org and click on Operating Millage 2024. #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs
