The Taylor School District is poised to be the leader in education as the community prepares for the 21st Century. The school district is the largest governmental unit of its kind in the Downriver area of suburban Detroit. In Wayne County, the Taylor School District ranks fifth in student population.

The Taylor School District operates two high schools, two middle schools, a Sixth-Grade Academy, nine elementary schools, a preschool center, a Career Center and Alternative School (see below for locations and other information).

The heart of a school district can be found in its curriculum: what it teaches and how it teaches. At the Taylor School District, this heart is defined by a comprehensive, aligned and articulated pre-K-12 curriculum that provides a clear direction for teachers and administrators.

This curriculum includes all subjects taught, from pre-kindergarten through senior high advanced placement. It also includes such areas as special education, technology and school-to-work.

To make this form of education work effectively, the district has implemented an active, progressive curriculum and instruction plan that not only reviews current offerings, but plants the seeds for tomorrow's classrooms. The plan then establishes the strategies and delivery systems that are compatible with district goals and the core curriculum.

Board of Education

The Taylor School District is governed by a seven-member Board of Education that is elected at-large by the entire district population. The trustees serve staggered four-year terms.

The board is responsible for setting policy, approving budgets and tax and spending limits and hiring the superintendent. The board is also responsible for dealing with student misconduct that has suspension or expulsion as a penalty, and for employee grievance matters. The board negotiates all labor contracts with the district's five bargaining units. The board annually elects its own president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. The board meets the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Board of Education offices, 23033 Northline Road.

Administration

The administration of the school district is handled by a staff led by the Superintendent. This individual is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the district, and is supported by a team of assistants, directors and coordinators who handle all aspects of instruction and administration. This includes

the hiring and firing of personnel, payroll, benefits, curriculum, purchasing, budget creation and implementation, building and grounds supervision and maintenance, instruction, food service, special services and transportation.
