History
The district was founded in 1905 by Geoff McEggson.[2]
In 2013, the voters approved maintaining the 1 mill sinking fund tax.[3] This rate had been levied since 2002.[4]
As of April 2015, the district's overall millage was 2.45 mills. It was scheduled to decrease, but the ballot for the May 5 election included an extension to the millage. District officials stated they would use the millage to pay for transportation and infrastructure upgrades, worth a total of $33 million.[5]
In 2015, Washtenaw County Circuit Judge Carol Kuhnke ruled that the Ann Arbor district can continue banning guns on its campus properties.[6]
In 2019, the district put up an election for a school bond worth $1 billion, the largest amount in the state post-1994 if passed, with the district's tax rate now being 4.1 mills, an increase by 1.65. Voters approved the measure on November 5.[7]
In July of 2023, local media began reporting that a school aide had assaulted a 7-year-old student on an AAPS school bus. The aide was convicted of child abuse, but a lawsuit from the family alleged that the school covered up the abuse.[8][9][10] By September, superintendant Jeanice Swift had resigned, and in October iterim superintendent Jazz Parks was appointed by the Ann Arbor Board of Education.[11][12]
Demographics
As of 2015 the district had 16,815 students. As of that year, there are about 64 languages and 85 countries of origin represented in the student body.[2]

Controversies
Despite being ranked as having some of the best schools in America, AAPS has not been without controversy.[15]
Racial hostility civil rights complaint
In 2020, a black student at Pioneer High School filed a complaint with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights alleging racism in Ann Arbor schools.[16][17] The filing came after an earlier petition from the school's Black Student Union requesting the teacher's dismissal.[18] In October, a local group protested in front of the school demanding action against the teacher. The school system hired its own attorney to perform an independent investigation of the allegations.[19] The next year, a parent filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against AAPS, claiming they withheld documents that would provide evidence of racial discrimination at the high school and uncover the teacher's history of racial antagonism.[20][21]
Student abuse cover up scandal
In December 2021, an aide on a special needs bus to Carpenter Elementary in Pittsfield assaulted a 7 year old autistic child. In 2023, a lawsuit alleged that AAPS had covered up the incident.[8][9][10] By August, there were calls for the school system's superintendent Jeanice Swift to resign.[22][23] In a special meeting Шаблон:Date, the Ann Arbor Board of Education voted 4-3 to approve a pre-termination letter. At the same meeting, the school board voted to approve the school system's attorneys entering into negotiations with Swift about a separation agreement.[24][25][26] In September, Swift resigned, and in October she was replaced with interim superintendent Jazz Parks.[11][27]
