TECUMSEH Students, faculty and staff in Tecumseh are going to make another attempt at starting the school year a week before Labor Day.
Tecumseh, like all but two other districts in Lenawee County, is planning to start the 2021-22 school year on Aug. 30, Superintendent Rick Hilderley told the Tecumseh Board of Education at its meeting Monday. He said Addison and Sand Creek are planning to start Aug. 23.
Tecumseh and the other districts in the county received waivers last year from the Michigan Department of Education to start school up to two weeks before Labor Day. Michigan law requires districts to start classes after Labor Day, unless they obtain a waiver from the state.

FAIRFIELD TWP. The simmering conflict between former members of the Fairfield Township Fire Department and the township board continued Monday in the board’s first meeting since most of the department’s members resigned in protest in February.
Expecting a large turnout and unseasonably warm weather, the board decided to hold its meeting outside, in the driveway of the department’s fire hall
The nearly 40 attendees were a mix of residents concerned with the current state of the department, a few who supported the board and a large contingent of department members who resigned, their family and supporters.
ADRIAN Michael Loveday remembers feeling lost and bored in school.
Loveday felt like he wasn t being prepared for college. He wanted something more, something more challenging. I didn t feel like I was being properly engaged, he said.
Of all people, it was a doctor who turned Loveday onto the middle college program at Jackson College and the Lenawee Intermediate School District Tech Center. It s such an interesting concept, Loveday said. I hadn t heard of it.
Loveday applied and was accepted into the JC/LISD Academy.
The academy offers high school students the ability to obtain a high school diploma and an associate degree in five years. It s an opportunity for high school students to save money on college the academy is free and get a taste of higher ed all before they graduate.
