On November 17th and 19th, Alpena Public Schools hosted two community forums to launch our "Reimagine Our Future: Together" initiative, a proactive effort to address our 50-year enrollment trends, aging infrastructure, and the operational challenges of our 604-square-mile district. In partnership with Kingscott Associates, we presented initial draft scenarios designed to spark conversation about grade configurations, building usage, and program centralization.

The community is reminded that these scenarios are not final plans; they are conceptual conversation starters intended to help us explore how we can most effectively and equitably serve our students.

Your voice is the most critical part of this process, and we want to ensure everyone has the opportunity to weigh in. If you were unable to attend the sessions, please watch the recording of the Community Engagement Forum linked below to review the presentation. After viewing, please use the QR code or link provided on this page to complete our feedback survey. We are currently in a proactive planning phase, and your insights on these ideas are essential as we take the time to build a sustainable future for our schools together.
