Char-Em ISD special education millage renewal
on the ballot May 7, 2024
CHARLEVOIX - Voters in Charlevoix, Emmet and northern Antrim counties will be asked to consider renewing the long-standing Char-Em ISD special education millage on May 7, 2024. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at your usual voting location.
“This millage was originally approved by voters in 1980 and has been renewed every four years since,” said Char-Em ISD Superintendent Scott Koziol. “This millage impacts the lives of thousands of students and their families in our region, from newborns to students up to age 26, including their lives beyond school. It provides critical services to students with disabilities in every Char-Em ISD district.”
Char-Em ISD serves more than 1,330 students with special needs in 11 public school districts, two charter academies, and 5 private schools each year. Of that total, 124 infants and toddlers with disabilities receive direct and classroom-based instruction, and 107 students with significant emotional needs attend ISD-operated classrooms. Across the region, 16 special education classrooms, including 2 early childhood classrooms, are operated in the ISD’s 2.5 county service region.
The ballot issue seeks renewal of 1.4606 mills for four years, 2024-27, generating approximately $10.3 million per year for special education operational funding. For a home with a market value of $100,000, it would cost the taxpayer about $75 per year.
Koziol said funding from this millage goes directly to local schools to reimburse about half of their special education expenses, as well as to Char-Em ISD-operated classrooms and the Patricia A. Taylor School in Petoskey. It also provides specialized training for teachers, evaluation services, and highly specialized transportation for students with disabilities, along with career and college readiness preparation.
In Michigan, special education services begin at birth and are provided until a person with a disability reaches the age of 26. Koziol noted that ISDs are mandated by state law to provide special education services, as well as support to local districts serving students with disabilities.
Costs associated with providing those services not covered by the millage are supported by state, federal, and other local dollars and grants. Without this voted millage, districts would need to reallocate funding from existing student programs to comply with state and federal laws that mandate the provision of special education services, Koziol said.
Voters in the following school districts will be asked to vote on this request: Alanson, Beaver Island, Boyne City, Boyne Falls, Central Lake, Charlevoix, Ellsworth, East Jordan, Harbor Springs, Pellston, and Petoskey. Learn more at www.charemisd.org.

NCMC SEES NEARLY 6% ENROLLMENT INCREASE FOR WINTER 2024 SEMESTER
PETOSKEY, Mich. — North Central Michigan College’s winter enrollment increased by 5.7% over Winter 2023, with growth in both new and returning students.
NCMC’s Winter 2024 enrollment is 1,755 students, with the number of new students increasing by 50%. The college’s fall-to-winter persistence rate (students enrolled during Fall 2023 who re-enrolled for Winter 2024) increased by 16%.
Erin Sonneveldt, North Central’s associate dean of Institutional Research and Assessment, also noted the following:
- Full-time Enrollment Equivalency (FTE), which aggregates part-time students into full-time students, increased by 10%.
- The number of Spring 2023 high school graduates from the college’s service area that enrolled in winter courses increased by 11%.
Corey Lansing, director of Admission, cited a campuswide focus on belonging and student success as critical to the college’s enrollment success.
“One of the benefits of a smaller campus is our family atmosphere, and that means coming together to help our students when they need it,” Lansing said. “Team members across the college work to identify students who might need extra support, then connect with them with campus and community resources.”
Such resources include North Central’s Student Emergency Fund, which provides financial assistance to students who have exhausted all other resources and have nowhere else to turn for unexpected financial hardships including unforeseen medical expenses, housing crises, and car trouble.
“Many times, being able to afford an unexpected car repair can mean the difference between a student finishing a degree or withdrawing with just a semester left until graduation,” Lansing said.
Another resource, the Campus Cupboard student food pantry, expanded its services last fall to include a once-weekly, discreet self-shopping experience, when students can acquire fresh fruits and vegetables, canned goods, dairy products, and personal hygiene items.
“The success of both these resources depends on the generosity of our donors and our faculty and staff,” said Chelsea Platte, NCMC Foundation executive director and vice president for Advancement. “Time and again, when we’ve approached them with an opportunity to support our students, they have enthusiastically obliged.”
While the college celebrates enrollment growth, Lansing expects there will be an even sharper focus on retaining North Central’s large population of dual and concurrently enrolled students so they might complete an associate degree prior to transferring to a four-year university.
“We know our dual and concurrent students understand the benefits of getting a head start on their college credits,” Lansing said. “We also know they are becoming more financially savvy. As we expand our academic offerings and communicate our value to them, we believe they will appreciate even more the benefits of saving on their first two years of a bachelor’s degree.”
In addition to its traditional students, North Central serves more than 100 learners each year through its Fast Track career programs, and more than 5,000 individuals via its Lifelong Learning offerings.
Registration for North Central’s Fall 2024 semester opens on March 13. Summer registration is open now. Visit www.ncmich.edu to learn more.
North Central Michigan College is an open-door community college based in Petoskey with additional offerings in Cheboygan, Gaylord, and online. North Central’s mission is to provide exceptional, accessible, relevant higher education of and for the community. An Achieving the Dream Leader College with a designation of Veteran Friendly Gold by the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, North Central is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association and the Michigan Community College Athletic Association.

National Nutrition Month
Eating healthy no matter your income, schedule, or eating habits
Getting good nutrition isn’t complicated. There are tips and tricks on how to integrate fresh foods into your diet. And as part of celebrating National Nutrition Month in March, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan (HDNW) and the Northern Michigan Public Health Alliance encourages residents to add more fresh fruits and vegetables to their favorite recipes as an easy way to improve nutrition.
- People with healthy eating patterns are likely to live longer and are at lower risk for serious chronic health problems compared to individuals with unhealthy eating habits.
- Poor nutrition can contribute to many debilitating diseases, including obesity, heart disease, and some cancers.
- Less than one out of every 10 adults and children eat the daily recommended amount of vegetables, four to five a day.
- Four out of 10 children and fewer than one out of 7 adults eat the daily recommended amount of fruits, four to five a day.
Fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy diet because they provide vitamins and minerals for our bodies. Low levels of vitamin/mineral intake can lead to mental impairment and central nervous system defects in infants.
“Eating healthy can easily be a way of life that involves eating what you like and making it fun,” says Judi Marlin, HDNW Registered Nutritionist. “One example is to create a board of lean meats, cheeses, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and whole grain breads and let everyone eat family style rather than serve sandwiches and chips. We have plenty of ideas and recipes to share.”
More tips and tricks include:
- Cut up vegetables to be small and add them to your favorite recipes,
- Buy and eat frozen when fresh isn’t available,
- Use coupons and sales to reduce the cost of fresh foods, and
-
Look for healthier options even when you’re on the go at convenience stores and gas stations, such as apples, boiled eggs, cheese, and nuts.
Premium Nutrition for Baby
Breastfeeding can help protect against childhood illnesses, including ear and respiratory infections, asthma, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). HDNW has Breastfeeding Peer Counselors available to help you on this nutritional journey. Please call us locally at 800-432-4121 for breastfeeding information and to talk with a Peer Counselor.
For more healthy nutrition facts, watch Judi Marlin on 9&10 New’s lifestyle program, The Four, at 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, or visit eatright.org.

Guinea pigs have many needs including lap time, attention, and vetting when needed. Cage cleaning, yummy vegetables, hay, guinea pig pellets and A LOVING environment where they are viewed and treated as a valuable family member, not some animal that can be thrown away when they are no longer wanted or welcome in the home.
Both of these girls are mildly socialized and can be handled for short periods of time. With patience and time, they may come out of their shells as they are still young. Please keep in mind that Guinea Pigs thrive best in pairs so they will need to go together.
