| South Redford School Board of Education Adopts Facility Use Policy |
| 11/12/2009 3:26:45 PM |
The South Redford School District Board of Education passed a resolution at the regular meeting of Monday, November 9, 2009. The resolution adopted the Facility Use Policy and Rules and Regulations for Licensees and Users. This allows the District to rent campus facilities and athletic complex areas to the public. Board members hope the Performing Arts Center will draw community organizations, clubs, and groups in need of a facility for a performance or meeting. Campus facilities are available for rental under the stipulation the use will not interfere with school programs and are not dangerous or detrimental to public welfare.

A charter bus with approximately 40 parents, staff and community members traveled to Lansing Tuesday, November 10, to represent South Redford School District. The purpose of the trip was to join other school Districts from around the state and ask legislators to save our schools. The recent cuts to education by the legislature will cost South Redford School District $1.5 million dollars. South Redford and other districts throughout the state will be forced to make cuts in programs and services mid-year.

| South Redford School District Faces Devastating Budget Cuts |
| 11/9/2009 4:40:46 PM |
Redford, Michigan —The legislature’s proposed $292 per student cut in funding to local schools are shortsighted responses to Michigan’s growing budget problems. This type of cut equates to $1.5 million dollars for South Redford School District. The reality is that South Redford School District will face this uncertainty again and again until legislators have the courage to admit that Michigan’s funding structure is broken.

| THTV Collaborates with Environmental Science Classes |
| 10/29/2009 10:17:59 AM |
This year the students from Thurston High School's Video Production and Environmental Science classes are collaborating through projects where students visit streams and rivers within the River Rouge watershed, with the purpose of assessing water quality. Students will use direct measures to assess stream quality, such as water chemistry, clarity and velocity. Students will also sample for aquatic invertebrates which can be used as an indirect measure of stream health. Students will directly participate in all monitoring activities, giving them first-hand experience carrying out real scientific techniques.
