Suttons Bay School district is small in size — but big on innovation.
This school district in northwest Michigan probably doesn't get much attention outside of Traverse City. That's unfortunate, because it is blazing a trail in education innovation through digital learning.
Superintendent Michael Murray says the district aims to shape school to fit the student, not the other way around — which, unfortunately, is how many schools have operated for decades. With digital learning, Suttons Bay is personalizing the learning experience for each student and in the process providing a wide variety of choices for all.
