In the 10 years since the water crisis poisoned Flint families, the city’s school district has suffered.

Students left in droves. Graduation rates have plunged. Reading scores have fallen. And buildings have sat vacant.

Officials blame many of the district’s challenges, particularly declining enrollment and a larger proportion of special education needs, in part to the water crisis, which spun the city and residents into an ongoing nightmare. Leaders, too, have also credited more than a decade of inadequate state funding for pushing Flint’s schools into a downward spiral. And through all that, charter schools drew away more and more students: 14 charters in Genesee County, 11 of those in Flint, serving more than 5,000 students, according to state data.

Two Rockford parents have filed a lawsuit against Rockford Public Schools for referring to their child with male pronouns without their consent or knowledge.

While the school did not inform the child’s parents of their use of the child’s requested masculine name and pronouns per district policy, Dan and Jennifer Mead claim that the school attempted to socially transition their child and conceal it, violating their parental rights.

The Meads’ biologically female child had attended Rockford Public Schools, a district operating 20 schools in Rockford just north of Grand Rapids, since kindergarten, but after beginning sixth grade at East Rockford Middle School in fall of 2020, the child began meeting with the school counselor regarding a dip in their academic performance.
