Tonight's Board meeting has been postponed and is expected to be held Wednesday, October 21, at 6:30pm on the Zoom platform. Confirmation and meeting details will be posted soon. This is due to some ambiguity around our ability to hold a virtual meeting in line with the Open Meetings Act since Governor Whitmer's executive orders on this matter were recently vacated by the courts. Thank you for your patience.

The Boggs School has moved! We will miss our first home in the wonderful Sophie Wright Settlement House on Mitchell Street. It is the special place that our pioneer families and staff will always associate with the origin of our school. And now we are thrilled to move into our "forever home" at 7600 Goethe Street, just three blocks from the historic Field Street home of our namesakes, James and Grace Lee Boggs! We will be spending the time while our students are participating in at-home learning to get our building ready for their return. We will share photos soon!
The Boggs School Board will hold a special meeting Tuesday, September 1, at 6pm to address the adoption of a new management company. The log-in information is below:

This meeting is open to the public.
Welcome to Year 8 at the James & Grace Lee Boggs School! We never imagined it would start this way (with at-home learning only), but being flexible and ready to adjust to any challenge is one of the most powerful skills a true "Solutionary" can have. So we are still learning and growing, even in these exceptionally challenging times. We look forward to seeing our students and families, settling into our new home at 7600 Goethe Street, and reconnecting with our community. We are wishing everyone well. As Grace Lee Boggs used to say, "What an amazing time to be alive."

The James and Grace Lee Boggs School staff and Board have decided, with the support of our school families, that the safest way to open our school this fall is with At-Home (virtual) Learning. We will reevaluate this plan throughout the fall and as public health considerations change. Our full plan will be posted later in the month. Thank you for your support!
