REMEMBER, IT'S OK2SAY something!
Remember,
is OK2SAY something when you feel threatened.
A
hero doesn't necessarily have to wear a cape and tights. Maybe a hero speaks up
for what's right. Maybe that hero could be you. If you see or hear something
that doesn't seem right, you can submit a confidential tip to OK2SAY.
OK2SAY
allows anyone to confidentially report tips on criminal activities or potential
harm directed at Michigan students, school employees, or schools.
Protect
yourself and others by using OK2SAY. Because if you won't, who will?

LEARN MORE ABOUT the organization that helped accredit all Taylor Schools
Through AdvancED, the entire Taylor School District is accredited through the NCA.
AdvancED
is the largest community of education professionals in the world. It is a
non-profit, non-partisan organization that conducts rigorous, on-site reviews
of a variety of educational institutions and systems to ensure that all
learners realize their full potential.
While
its expertise is grounded in more than a hundred years of work in school
accreditation, AdvancED is far from a typical accrediting agency. Its goal isn’t
to certify that educational institutions are good enough. Rather, its
commitment is to help these institutions continuously improve.
Combining
the knowledge and expertise of a research institute, the skills of a management
consulting firm and the passion of a grassroots movement for educational
change, it serves as a trusted partner to 34,000 educational institutions — employing
more than four million educators and enrolling more than 20 million students — across
the United States and 70 other nations.
AdvancED
was created through a 2006 merger of the Pre-K-12 divisions of the North
Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA
CASI) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on
Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI) — and expanded through the
addition of the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) in 2012.

Don’t
forget that after years of weighing the pros and cons of merging the two high
schools into one, the decision to close Kennedy High School and combine Kennedy
and Truman students and staff into the Truman High School building has
been made.
The
new school will be called Taylor High School, nicknamed Griffins, and its
colors will be black and gold.
The
next steps of this project are of utmost importance and will involve the
feedback of many groups within our school community.
This
information page will keep the TSD district community, which includes students,
teachers and staff, parents, and Taylor residents, up-to-date on all that is
happening with the high school merger.
