I would like to say thank you to the Morley, American Legion personnel. The incident with the bus this morning occurred right in front of American Legion parking lot. Their staff and members open the doors to the building to give our students a warm, comfortable and safe place to wait. Thank you for helping to care for our communities most valuable members, our children.

Statement from Mr. Cole:

I wanted to follow up regarding this morning’s incident. According to findings from law enforcement, the accident involving one of our buses and another vehicle was not the fault of the bus driver, and no citation was issued to the driver.

We are very thankful and relieved that no one was seriously injured beyond a few minor bumps and bruises. I also want to commend our staff and emergency response personnel for their quick response and support of our students during the situation.

Morley Stanwood Community Schools is proud to announce that the Board of Education has selected James Nelson as the district’s next superintendent.

“Mr. Nelson is a proven and experienced educational leader whose passion for public education and student focus will continue the district’s tradition of high expectations and promoting the success of all students,” said Board President Emily Bongard. “The board is confident that Mr. Nelson’s vision will continue to empower staff and students to learn, lead, and thrive.”

Mr. Nelson brings a wealth of experience in education, having served in leadership roles at both Morley Stanwood Community Schools and Newaygo Public Schools. He also spent years in the classroom at Shepherd Public Schools as both a physical education and social studies teacher.

The Board’s decision followed an inclusive process that included valuable input from staff, parents, and community members through surveys and candidate interviews. Morley Stanwood Community Schools appreciates everyone who participated and supported the process.

Contract negotiations are currently underway, with Mr. Nelson expected to officially assume the superintendent position on July 1, 2026.

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Nelson on this exciting new role!
