Lakeview Public Schools

What Lakeview Public Schools does

Lakeview Public Schools is a public K-12 school district organized as a political subdivision of the State of Michigan, headquartered in St. Clair Shores, Macomb County. The district operates seven campuses serving students from Young 5's through 12th grade: four elementary schools (Ardmore, Greenwood, Harmon, Princeton), Jefferson Middle School, Lakeview High School, and the Wheat Early Childhood Center, supplemented by Lakeview Virtual School for online learning. Governance is provided by an elected Board of Education with day-to-day leadership from Superintendent Karl Paulson and Deputy Superintendent Tracy VanPeeren.

The district's technology platform is built entirely on standard K-12 EdTech infrastructure rather than proprietary systems. Core operational layers include PowerSchool as the student information system, Schoology as the learning management system, and Clever for single sign-on across digital resources. A 1:1 Chromebook initiative provides each student with a personal device, and Edgenuity is deployed for high school summer school credit recovery. Administrative workflows run on Frontline Education (Aesop) for substitute management, Kronos for timekeeping, BenefitFirst for benefits, RevTrak and Eleyo for payments, and Meal Magic for food service accounts. The district has no AI, ML, or data science capabilities documented and no proprietary software products; all technology assets are vendor-supplied.

Funding flows primarily from local property taxes (maintained at 6.15 mills following the November 2025 bond approval), Michigan state foundation allowance, and federal grants. Fee-based revenue streams include the Latchkey before/after school childcare program ($5-$15 per day) and summer school credit recovery ($35-$290 per course by lunch plan status). The district also generates marginal revenue from facility rentals (Schaublin Auditorium) and participates in Michigan's Schools of Choice program for inbound transfers from other districts. In November 2025 voters authorized a $44.1 million capital bond for facility, technology, and safety improvements across all seven campuses, with construction scheduled for 2026 including expansion of the Wheat Early Childhood Center.
