District News

Sealed bids will be accepted by the Board of Education of Athens Area Schools for the sale of property located at 304 East South Street in the Village of Athens. Please see attached notice for more information. 

The Board of Education recently partnered with a diverse group of community members to begin an important journey: the development of a comprehensive five-year strategic plan for the district.

This collaborative effort reflects a shared commitment to transparency, open communication, fiscal responsibility, and the continuous improvement of instruction for all students. By bringing multiple perspectives to the table early in the process, the district is working to ensure that future decisions are thoughtful, inclusive, and aligned with both educational best practices and community values.

The Athens School District is pleased to share positive news with our community. The District has accepted a grant from the State of Michigan in the amount of $2,053,468 to support the purchase of five (5) new electric school buses (E-buses). This grant allows the District to replace aging buses without the need to pursue a bond for transportation purchases in the near future.
