2026 Bond Quote from Mrs. Palms, kindergarten teacher

Attention Panthers: The process for minors obtaining a work permit in Michigan has changed!

Students no longer obtain work permits through their district as of Oct 2nd, 2026. Instead, please visit Michigan.gov/YouthEmployment for step-by-step instructions, FAQs and additional resources to help navigate the new process. There is also a link on the high school page under "Forms and Reports" for how to access the application website.

If you already have a work permit, it remains valid, but if you are applying for a new permit or changing employers, follow the process on Michigan.gov

Michigan’s Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP) makes it easier for employers and young workers to complete the youth employment permit process online.
It's a great day to be a Panther! Wednesday, October 7th is fall count day! Count day is the day all public schools in Michigan are required to count student attendance. These numbers are critical to state funding. Please do your best to get your (healthy) Panthers to school and ready to learn and be counted!

How are public schools funded in Michigan?

Michigan public schools receive annual operating funding from state and local sources largely for instruction, daily expenses, and other purposes. These funds generally cover day-to-day operations but are insufficient to cover both day-to-day operations and large-scale building projects like the 2026 bond proposal.

Without the funds provided by the 2026 bond proposal, the district couldn’t complete significant capital projects of this scale and operate at current levels.
Voters in the Parchment School District last approved a bond proposal in 2007.
Bond funds CANNOT be used for staff, teacher, or administrative salaries or other operational costs.
