A representative from the Michigan Department of Education will attend the meeting remotely.
By law, school districts must start the school year, after Labor Day.
The waiver, if granted, will allow the district to start the school year before Labor Day.
The district made the request, so that starting after Labor Day, will not extend the school year, when Summer arrives.
