Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS; /ˈtiːkæps/ TEE-kaps) is a public school district based in Traverse City, Michigan, United States. This district includes 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, 1 alternative high school, and 1 Montessori school. The district is headquartered in the Boardman Building, a former elementary school. In 2017, Traverse City Central and West High Schools were named among the most challenging in the country.[2] The district serves as the second-largest employer in the city of Traverse City.[3] As of 2017, TCAPS was the 18th largest school district in Michigan by enrollment.[4]

The district serves 8,908 students (as of the 2021–22 school year) over an area of 283.6 square miles (735 km2).[5][6] The district encompasses about half of Grand Traverse County, as well as southeastern Leelanau County and a few square miles of eastern Benzie County.

History

[edit]
Central Grade School, the district's largest elementary school and former home of Traverse City High School from 1937 to 1959.

Traverse City's first public school district was founded in 1871 when Boardman, Central, Elmwood Avenue, Oak Park, and Union Street Independent Schools united. Today, all of these schools are closed, but Boardman, Central and Union Street school buildings are used for other purposes. Since 1871, many other schools around the area have been annexed and built.

In 1997, because of overcrowding at Traverse City Senior High School (TCSHS), which had since become the largest high school in Michigan, a second high school was built, and opened in early 1998. The new high school became Traverse City West Senior High School, and the former TCSHS became Traverse City Central High School.[7] This succeeded the split of Traverse City Junior High School into Traverse City West Junior High and East Junior High in 1992.[8]

In the mid-2000s, due to dwindling attendance, five elementary schools closed their doors: Bertha Vos, Glenn Loomis, Norris, Oak Park, and Sabin Elementary schools. Also, up until the 2009–10 school year, elementary schools in the district had grades K-6, junior high schools had 7–9, and senior highs had 10–12. However, at the beginning of this school year, the 6th grade class was moved to the junior highs (renamed middle schools), and the freshman class was moved to the senior high schools.

In 2011, the original Long Lake Elementary closed to be rebuilt nearby. This was the first time since 1997 that the district had opened a new building.

In March 2016, TCAPS decided to close Bertha Vos International School and Interlochen Community. Officials almost closed Old Mission Elementary School, but an unknown donor has pledged to pay about $100,000 to keep it open. In May 2016, the nearby Kingsley Area Schools decided to look into purchasing the Interlochen.[9] For both 2015 and 2016 the TCAPS Japanese exchange program, in which TCAPS students exchange with Japanese ones for one week, has been completely paid for by an anonymous donor.[citation needed]

In May 2017, Eastern Elementary closed for a rebuild, similar to the rebuild of Long Lake Elementary six years prior. The project lasted the entire 2017/18 school year, and was completed in summer of 2018. The students were moved to the nearby vacant Bertha Vos, which closed the previous year. This project costed around $10 million.[10] Also in 2017, a Traverse City food company called Food for Thought bought the vacant Long Lake Elementary School building, which was used as an elementary school before 2011. The company remodeled the elementary building into a warehouse.[11]

In 2018, TCAPS has three vacant properties around the Traverse City Area. It is unknown if these properties are to become schools, but TCAPS has expressed feelings of building a new district headquarters, replacing the old Boardman Building in Traverse City. Also in 2018, Old Mission School became an independent district, further lowering the number of elementary schools in the district.

In 2019, Paul Soma retired as superintendent of TCAPS, and Ann Cardon took over.[12] However, that October, Cardon resigned, due to tension between her and the school board. Former superintendent Jim Pavelka took the position of interim superintendent.[13] On May 20, 2020, Dr. John VanWagoner, former superintendent of Alpena Public Schools, was elected to become the next superintendent. VanWagoner was elected by the board 7–0 over Denise Herrmann, former superintendent of the Roseville Joint Union High School District in Roseville, California.[14][15] VanWagoner was officially hired in June 2020.[16]

Also in 2019, TCAPS announced their intent to rebuild their Montessori school at the old Glenn Loomis Elementary, set to open in the 2021–2022 school year.[17] Proposed locations included east of Thirlby Field, its current location west of Thirlby Field, or on Franke Road near Meijer. In January 2020, TCAPS voted to build on the Franke Road location. The school officially opened in June 2023, after years of delay.[18] This succeeds a number of school rebuilds and remodels around the area, including the building of remodeled front entrances at Courtade, Willow Hill, Silver Lake Elementary schools, as well as West Middle School, during summer of 2019, and Westwoods and Blair in 2020. Blair, Silver Lake, and Westwoods Elementary schools had also been expanded in the previous years to accommodate a higher number of students.[19]

COVID-19 pandemic

[edit]
See also: COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the announcement of three cases in Michigan, as well as other schools in Michigan closing, TCAPS announced they would stay open, for the best of the parents.[20] However, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the closure of all K-12 districts until April 6, 2020.[21] On April 2 of that year, the rest of the 2019–2020 school year was cancelled.[22] The first two weeks of the 2020–21 school year began on September 8 with online schooling.[23] Following this, the district went back to in-person schooling.[24][25]

Later in the year, on October 20, TCAPS reported that a staff member at Traverse City Central High School had contracted COVID-19. The next two days, a Wednesday and Thursday, would see Central students revert to online classes while the Grand Traverse County Health Department conducted contact tracing, with the following Friday seeing students return to in-school learning. However, other TCAPS schools, including Traverse City West Senior High School, would remain open.[26][27][28] On Sunday, November 8, TCAPS announced cases at West Senior High, and announced that that school would be closed the following day.[29] However, the next day, another case was announced, and TCAPS closed west again for the next day.[30] On Tuesday, November 10, TCAPS announced they would be closing both high schools, as well as both middle schools, for the rest of the week, while all elementary schools would remain open.[31] On Friday, November 13, TCAPS extended this second shutdown for the whole of the next week too.[32] Two days later, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services ordered all high schools resort to online learning once again, while leaving all K-8 schools open with restrictions.[33] An additional two weeks in April 2021 saw the middle and high schools close due to Michigan's rapid rise in COVID cases.[34]

Racist group chat incident

[edit]

In April 2021, TCAPS revealed that some high school students (at both Central and West) were involved in a Snapchat group called "Slave Trade", in which pictures of African American students were posted and assigned price tags. Screenshots showed messages such as "All Blacks should die" and "Let's have another Holocaust".[35] TCAPS, as well as the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Department both conducted investigations at both high schools.[36]
