Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.

Built in 1927, expanded in 1934 and 1940, and renovated in 1957, this Italian Renaissance Revival-style building was constructed to serve as the Lake Orion High School, later serving as a local elementary school before becoming known as the Ehman Community Center.

Who makes decisions for Lake Orion Community Schools?

The elected Board of Education governs districtwide policy, spending, and major school projects.

The Board of Education is Lake Orion's public decision-making body. Its reviewed minutes show it acting on districtwide curriculum, facilities, policies, staffing, and finance matters.

Funding

The board adopted a resolution authorizing 2026 School Building and Site Bonds; the reviewed minutes do not establish the final amount or a full operating budget.

Curriculum

The board approved new instructional-resource requests for elementary English language arts, world language, and social studies for Fall 2026 implementation.

Facilities

The board approved a 2026 School Building and Site Bonds resolution and later discussed community priorities for a future bond proposal.

Policy

The district's NEOLA manual includes a wireless-device policy and a separate Artificial Intelligence policy for districtwide use.

The meeting record identifies decisions and discussion, but it does not by itself provide a complete district spending-per-pupil picture.
