History

Public school in Lansing began in May 1847. Between 1847 and 1851, three separate school districts were created within the three wards of the then-small city. In March 1861 the number of wards was increased to four and the districts were consolidated into a single all-inclusive school district within the city limits as required by the new city charter. [4]

In 1966 the district began a trial basis racial desegregation program. The district began desegregation busing at the elementary level in 1972. [5] The vote to enact the desegregation plan was 5-3. [6]
