High schools serving Lansing families include **Everett High School**, **Eastern High School**, **J.W. Sexton High School**. HERELansing covers every school board meeting, budget cycle, and academic milestone across Ingham. Higher education options for Lansing residents include institutions across the Greater Lansing region. HERELansing will profile local college options as coverage expands. MI's public-school governance flows through the **MI Department of Education**, which administers **MI READY** assessments each spring and enforces the **Read to Succeed Act** — requiring third-grade reading proficiency before promotion. The **Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA)** governs interscholastic athletics across the state. Teacher pay begins at the state minimum and is locally supplemented — making salaries a perennial flashpoint at budget hearings. HERELansing tracks school-board meetings across Ingham — agendas, votes, and budget summaries published before local papers. Our reporters cover graduation rates and **MI READY** scores; teacher-contract negotiations; school resource officers; SAT and ACT data; Title I funding allocations; building bond referenda; and the Friday Night Football calendar. From dual-enrollment windows at local technical colleges to faculty announcements at area universities — if it happens in a Lansing classroom or on a Ingham campus, it is HERE.
