We would like to thank both the Canton Public Library and the Plymouth District Library for holding book discussions last night. Many of us enjoyed the conversation at the CPL on Beloved, while others benefited from the program on both Beloved and Waterland held at the PDL. We also look forward to the Waterland book discussion to be held Tuesday, March 27 at 7:00 at the CPL, registration for which is now open. Thank you again for providing these wonderful opportunities to learn and interact with other lovers of great literature in our community.

We are mentioned in Jack’s latest story. Find it here. Just goes to show what a difference a great group of parents, students, and educators can make!

We, the Supporters of Academic Integrity in Plymouth-Canton, thank the members of the Waterland Review Committee for their diligent work and fully support the decision to approve Waterland for the Advanced Placement English curriculum at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park (The Park). It is now incumbent on Superintendent Dr. Jeremy Hughes to make this book available immediately to AP English students so that they may have the opportunity that was taken away from them to finish reading this critically-acclaimed novel if they so choose. While we are relieved that Waterland has been allowed to once again take its rightful place in the AP English curriculum, there are still outstanding issues that need to be addressed. We appreciate Board member Simescu’s powerful statement in support of academic freedom presented at Tuesday’s Plymouth-Canton School Board meeting. It is now essential that the full board follow his example and voice its determination to protect academic freedom for our highly trained and professional teaching staff and pledge to leave intact the curriculum approval system that has worked so well to produce the rigorous curriculum that has established Plymouth-Canton as one of the most highly acclaimed educational institutions in the State of Michigan. It is also imperative that steps be taken to ensure that one set of parents, no matter how well intentioned they may be, will never again be able to create the confusion, controversy, and discord that this unfortunate series of events has caused students, parents, and the community. We look forward to working cooperatively with the school board to make sure Plymouth-Canton Community Schools remain as highly acclaimed in the future as they are today.

Supporting our teachers = Supporting our schools!
