We’re offering swim lessons for our Pontiac kids this summer! In a partnership with Huron-Clinton Metroparks, we are providing this activity for kids ages 5 to 13 that register. Details in flyer below ⬇️

We need your support to keep expanding our youth recreation activities. Our city’s Youth Recreation Millage is up for renewal in this August 4th Primary Election. ✅

Pontiac School District needs to read this: "The new study out of California bolsters those findings, suggesting that school closures reduced both per-pupil expenditures and revenues by approximately $440 each—meaning that districts essentially break even.
The study also found that closures resulted in average enrollment losses for a district of about 287 students in the following five years"

The hope is that closing schools can reduce fixed costs. A new study looks into whether that happens.

Flint, who has less money per student, is building schools.

Pontiac, on the other hand, is closing schools. Make it make sense!!

Time and time again, the Trump administration deprioritizes and undermines services that help the students who need them most. But we are here to say: not on our watch.
