Bloomfield Hills School Action Network

We are a network of parents, teachers, families and friends that have come together to advocate for change, greater transparency and accountability in the Bloomfield Hills School District. Our first priority is gathering signatures to stop the June 11, 2026 closure of the infant and toddler care program that the Bloomfield Hills Schools Board of Education voted for on February 23, 2026.

A Community Network is Born

Bloomfield Hills School Action Network was formed out of necessity when families learned that infant and toddler care would be eliminated from our district after a Bloomfield Hills Schools Board of Education vote on Feb 23, 2026.

We are a parent, teacher and community-led group committed to preserving high-quality early childhood education in Bloomfield Hills. This is a space for parents, teachers, friends and community members to share information, ask questions, and work collaboratively toward solutions.

We believe district leadership should reflect the priorities of the families it serves. We support transparency, fiscal responsibility, and thoughtful decision-making that strengthens Bloomfield Hills Schools for current and future students.

Together, we aim to ensure that early childhood education remains a valued and accessible part of our community.
