Paw Paw board approves move of Alternative Programming to high school for 2026-27
Summary
The Paw Paw board voted to relocate the district's Alternative Programming to the high school beginning in the 2026-27 school year, directing administration to finalize an implementation plan that preserves access and aligns staffing and costs.
The Paw Paw Public Schools Board of Education voted March 9 to relocate the district's Alternative Programming to the high school starting with the 2026-27 school year. The motion, made by Ray Martin and supported by Lindsay Clark, passed by roll call with all six board members voting in favor.
Superintendent Davison told the board the move "is the fiscally responsible thing to do for our district" and said the change would give students more academic and extracurricular opportunities. The motion directs administration to finalize an implementation plan "that maintains program access and student supports while aligning staffing and costs with current enrollment levels."
Board members spoke briefly in favor before the vote. The rollout will require administrative planning on staffing and supports; the motion did not set a detailed timeline beyond the 2026-27 school year start. The board did not record an amendment to the motion; implementation details will be developed by district staff and reported at a future meeting.
