The Collaborative Schools of Choice Program is a plan that offers parents and students a choice to attend other public schools in the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District outside their district of residence.  

School of Choice information for the 2025-26 school year:

• Parents may fill out a Schools of Choice request for each student who will be applying.  A link to the application will be available on our website beginning May 1, and will remain active through May 30, 2025.  The link will be accessible here: _______________.
• If a parent is unable to fill out the application online, they should contact Michelle Pulver at 231-893-1515 or pulverm@mapsk12.org to have an application mailed to them. The completed application must be returned to the district business office no later than Thursday, May 30, 2025.

For the 25-26 school year, MAPS has unlimited openings in all grade levels.

Transportation is not provided for students residing outside of the Montague Area Public School District. Parents are expected to transport students to and from school on-time. If you would like to inquire about the Montague Area Public Schools bus stop closest to your home, contact the bus garage at 231-893-1535.

Note that a previous suspension or expulsion may result in your application being denied.

If your child has been accepted through the Schools of Choice process in a previous year and has remained enrolled at MAPS, you do not need to fill out the application again.

For more information, you may contact Michelle Pulver at 231-893-1515 or pulverm@mapsk12.org.

Please note that these forms will need to be printed and sent to school with your child (or dropped off in the school office).
