Superintendent's Bi-Weekly Report to the Board of Education
ELPS Superintendent’s Report
April 28, 2025
Families! We Want to Hear from You!
East Lansing Public Schools is one of over 100 school districts in Michigan participating in the MI Student Voice Perception Survey. In grades 5 and up, we use this tool to solicit, disaggregate, evaluate and make action plans around student feedback.
This is the third year of survey administration in ELPS, and we have added on the Family Survey! We are gathering feedback from our students and our staff… and we also want to hear how we are doing from you!
The survey will be open until May 9 and should take about 10 – 15 minutes to complete. Here is a link to the Parent/Guardian survey:
