LUDINGTON — The Ludington Area School District Board of Education is expected to discuss the district’s return to school plan when it meets tonight at 6 p.m. Under the 142nd executive order of Gov. Whitmer, the COVID-19 preparedness and response plan is required seven days before the start of the school year, which is Aug. 15. 

The district plans to hold a public comment and review period to help further assess what happens over the next few weeks.  

A final decision is expected during the board’s next meeting on Monday, Aug. 10. 

The board is also expected to take action on non-union contracts and service agreements and also on the hiring of two new teachers: Jennifer Shaw, O.J. DeJonge Middle School counselor, replacing Amy Marsh, who retired; Warren Stowe, secondary science teacher at Ludington High School, replacing Mark Willis, who has been hired by the West Shore Educational Service District as agriscience teacher.
