“Limited Service” means no to and from school routes for MAX transit.

The decision to continue with limited service as schools open in our area was not an easy one, and we apologize for any burden this may cause families with students. In order to continue to provide life sustaining services to the residents of the Holland and Zeeland community, this is our safest option.

The guidance provided by Governor Whitmer’s roadmap is an important first step in providing local districts with the direction and clarity needed to begin creating reopening plans.  It is our hope that we have more specifics to share the first week of August. Our goal is to bring our completed plans to the Board of Education for approval at that time.   

Holland Public Schools is "committed to being part of the solution - to listening, learning, and doing better."
