is recommend ing that a new high school be built on property owned by Wagenmaker

New Board policy bans all smoking on school property

Fremont Public Schools officials recently announced a change in the district’s tobacco policy.

The school district’s new tobacco policy, as approved by the school board, reads: ‘Tobacco products shall not be used by any person in District buildings at any time or on District property at any time.”

“In order to set a positive example for our students and maintain a healthy environment for everyone, we updated our tobacco policy to clearly prohibit the use of all tobacco products on school property,” said school Superintendent John Kingsnorth. ‘The safety, health and overall well-being of our students will always be our first priority. We believe this policy reflects this commitment to our students and community.”

Copies of the tobacco-free product policy have been distributed to all school employees and are available for students and visitors. People who have questions regarding the change in policy are invited to call Fremont Public Schools at 924-2350.

Fremont School District to Sell 44th Street Property

An investment group from Grosse Pointe Park has made an offer to purchase 77 acres of property on 44th Street in Fremont from the Fremont Public School district.

Those plans for the property, located on 44th Street west of Stone Road, changed over the past few years, with a citizen’s group now studying four other locations for a new high school, he said. Continue Reading…
