Haslett Equity Plan
During the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years, the Haslett Board of Education, Haslett's Voice for Change, Haslett Administrators, and staff have been working with Dr. Terry Flennaugh, Associate Professor of Urban Education Initiatives at Michigan State University, to develop a District Equity Plan. This plan is to be implemented during the 2022-23 school year.
Dr. Flennaugh met with district groups throughout the 2020-21 school year to familiarize staff with the components of social justice and bias-free culture. This spring (March 5 - March 19, 2021), the district distributed a survey to parents, students, staff, alumni, and other community members. The purpose of the survey was to gather feedback regarding district equity applicable to students and staff. The district also requested respondents to indicate their interest in assisting the district to develop an equity plan. Over 1100 individuals participated in the survey and over 100 respondents said they would be interested in serving on the Equity Planning Committee.
A copy of the draft Equity Plan is now available. To view this draft, please click on the link:

Schools of Choice Open Enrollment
Families who have moved out of the district, or who plan to move out of the district prior to the beginning of the 2022-23 school year, will need to complete a SOC application.
Haslett Public Schools participates in the State of Michigan Schools of Choice program as outlined in Section 105 and 105(c). This means that non-resident students can be enrolled without having to obtain approval from the district of residence. NOTE: Any special education student that applies for Schools of Choice who lives outside the Ingham Intermediate School District Boundaries (a Section 105c student), must have an agreement in place between the Haslett District and the student’s resident district as to which district will pay for the child’s special education programs and services. Without that written agreement, the special education student cannot enroll in the Haslett Public Schools. Under Section 105(c), should a student become eligible for special education services, our district has an obligation to reach said agreement. If said agreement is not reached, your student will be asked to return to his or her resident district.
The 2022-23 Schools of Choice open enrollment period for Haslett Public Schools is May 2, 2022 - May 26, 2022. Parents/guardians interested in applying to Haslett Public Schools for Schools of Choice should complete the Online Application form and the SOC Authorization to Release Information form available or pick up an application at the Haslett Administration Building, 5593 Franklin Street, Haslett.
If you have questions about the Schools of Choice program, please Connie Daiss at 517-339-8242 or daissca@haslett.k12.mi.us.
