Area ROAD CONSTRUCTION WILL IMPACT PUPIL TRANSPORTATION

Grand Ledge Public Schools will be impacted by several road construction projects that will begin in the near future. We understand these road closures will cause pupil transportation ride times to increase and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure all of our students get to and from school safely and in as timely a manner as possible. We will do everything we can to keep our community informed.  

Below you will find the most recent information.
