The Troy School District is a public school district in Metro Detroit in the U.S. state of Michigan, serving most of Troy and a small portion of Bloomfield Township.[2]

History

Troy School district was formed by consolidating several former school districts in 1950.[3]

In March 2004, the district proposed a $119 million bond that would build a new international school, provide a replacement facility for Baker Middle School, and upgrade facilities and technologies in exchange for a property tax increase by $0.99 million for 20 years. The voting for the bond was scheduled for June 14, 2004.[4] In the end, the IB curriculum was removed from Troy High School and implemented into the new international school, but the school district instead chose to move the Baker Middle School students to the new building and put the new International Academy East students into the old building for Baker Middle School with little to no funds to make it feel like their own new school. The school is still in session as of January 2025, but old paint is constantly being scratched off of doors and walls.
