Preschool Application High quality early education experiences are critical to every young child's development. Children who have high quality experiences are more successful later in life. In Ionia & Montcalm County, the Joint Recruitment system was developed to ensure that federal and state guidelines are being followed regarding enrollment and recruitment of all age eligible preschoolers. This also ensures that our system can service as many age eligible children as possible with free and/or low cost quality preschool. Preschool Application

Our Vision

MAISD will be an educational partner in building strong communities.

Our Mission

In partnership with its communities, MAISD provides innovative and effective learning opportunities for students, schools, and families. 

Annual Education Reports

The Annual Education Report (AER) provides key information about the educational progress on the complex reporting of information required by federal and state laws. The reports contain information about student assessment, accountability and teacher quality. We have three AERs available  to parents and the community. Below is a list of each school with a link to its AER letter and data.
