Pursuant to Executive Order 2020-142, Char-Em ISD has developed the following Preparedness & Response Plans for the 2020-2021 school year:
Area educators will once again convene for Area-Wide Professional Learning Day in early November. This is an event that takes place each year and brings educators together from across Char-Em ISD's 11 public school districts. This year's theme is, "Leveraging Technology to Connect Hearts and Engage Minds." This virtual professional learning offering will take place online from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Keynote presenter Thomas Murray will welcome participants, who will then choose two breakout sessions to round out their morning. To learn more about Nov. 6, visit the Area-Wide Professional Learning Day page. Schools throughout Char-Em ISD are not in session during this professional learning day for area educators.
If you are a parent or caregiver concerned about your young child's development, the Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District’s Early Childhood Department has a team of specialists available to help children along their educational path.
Services for eligible children include speech and language assistance, occupational therapy and physical therapy. Services are provided in the home for children up to age 3, and in preschool for children ages 3-5. We welcome the opportunity to work with you and your child!
Char-Em ISD road testers are scheduling driving tests for those seeking auto, motorcycle and CDL licenses. Students and adults are encouraged to contact the test administrators directly; their contact information can be found on the Driver License Road Testing page.

Parents and caregivers play an invaluable role in keeping their children on track to meet career and college readiness goals. To help in those efforts, Char-Em ISD's Career and Technical Education Department developed the "Step Up to Success" Career Staircase. This interactive tool takes students on a journey from kindergarten through graduation and beyond in goal setting and awareness of career and college readiness activities and events. It provides resources that families will need along the journey, and it lets community members and professionals know where they can step in and be part of creating bright futures for our youth.
Precious cargo aboard! Char-Em ISD is looking for substitute bus drivers and riders/aides for our multiple bus routes to and from Char-Em programs. Flexible hours and days mean you choose when you can provide coverage of routes. Char-Em pays for all required driver training (written testing and on-road testing), so experience is not necessary. Experience working with special needs children is not required, but is helpful, as is a compassionate personality. Because of the wide geographical area covered by Char-Em, we pay you from when you leave the house to get to your assigned transportation route each day that you work. Routes may be in Charlevoix, Emmet and northern Antrim counties. Those interested may also start as (paid) aides rather than driver, to see if the job is a good fit.
Sound like this is for you? We welcome you to learn more by reading the complete job descriptions online. Contact Char-Em ISD’s Transportation Coordinator at 231-582-8070 if you have further questions or you’re interested in applying!
