Teachers, not police officers will be the first defenders in a Battle Creek school shooting. "I have been in the business for 35 years and this is the first time I have heard that we have to own it," said Lakeview School District Superintendent David Peterson.
Voters in the Battle Creek Public Schools district will be asked to go to the polls May 7 to vote on a millage renewal for the district's future projects. The Battle Creek Board of Education on Monday voted unanimously to put the district's Building and Site Millage Renewal on the ballot.
