Hello Milan Area Schools Community,
Thank you for your continued support for the students of Milan Area Schools!
The 2024 unofficial election results have been reported by all precincts in both Washtenaw and Monroe Counties (see chart below). The ballot items involving Milan Area Schools include the School Board election, the MAS Site Sinking Fund Millage, and the Washtenaw County Intermediate School District (WISD) Special Education Millage renewal.
Carrie Gutierrez and Cassie Prior were elected to 6-year terms on the Board of Education.
The MAS Site Sinking Fund passed.
The WSID Special Education Millage renewal passed. (Some portions of other counties are not included in this chart, but the millage was renewed).
Again, on behalf of the Board of Education, myself, the MAS staff, and most importantly, the students of MAS, I want to thank you for your continued support of our school district. The Sinking Fund will provide the district with dedicated funding to ensure a safe learning environment conducive to the educational process without diverting funds from instructional programs, thus keeping more money in classrooms. For more details, including a list of projects intended to be addressed with Sinking Fund dollars, please review this slide presentation.

Dear Milan Area Schools Families,
Navigating mental health services for a child or family member, scheduling appointments, and navigating the cost of insurance can be overwhelming. In order to support our students, families, and staff, Milan Area Schools has partnered with Care Solace, a confidential service focused on removing barriers to accessing mental health care. This collaboration provides school district families and staff with access to Care Solace's care coordination services at no cost to families or staff.
Care Solace streamlines communication and coordination to connect individuals with the right resources and appropriate level of care. With a team of more than 500 dedicated Care Companions, Care Solace connects Milan Area Schools to over 420,000 licensed mental health and substance use treatment providers. These Care Companions navigate the fragmented mental health care system on behalf of individuals, helping them find the perfect fit for their unique needs and insurance requirements.
Families can connect with Care Solace via a staff referral, or may request assistance directly from Care Solace. Once a referral begins, Care Solace will work with the student, family, or staff member to help identify a local mental health provider that meets their needs, schedule an appointment with the provider, help navigate the insurance/payment requirements, and provide follow-up services. All of this information and actions taken after the referral are strictly confidential and not accessible by MAS.
Included with this message are two introductory flyers and an explanation of what to expect after connecting with Care Solace. If you have any questions about this service after reviewing these resources, please explore the Care Solace site at caresolace.com/milan or contact a district counselor or social worker.

Hello Milan Area Schools Families,
Milan Area Schools wants to inform our students and families that we will be implementing a new/updated attendance policy. The policy implementation will begin on August 28, 2023, the first day of the 2023-2024 school.
The policy was developed by the district in conjunction with agencies from Monroe and Washtenaw Counties.
While Milan Area Schools experiences good daily student attendance on average, some of our students do meet the state’s definition of being chronically absent. Some of our students also meet the state’s definition of being truant. Excessive absences affect a student’s ability to be successful in school.
Important information about student attendance is included in the the “Milan Area Schools Attendance Policy”.
The policy includes:
Thank you for taking the time to review this important document. It is imperative that your students attend school regularly.
Thank You,
Bryan Girbach
