2026 MHSAA football district final kickoff times, locations

The second week of the 2026 Michigan high school football playoffs is loaded with state championship-level matchups. But instead of playing for a wooden mitten at Ford Field, teams will hit the road to play for a district championship trophy on high school football fields. New seeding changes and a good start for most favorites mean the rest of the playoffs will be filled with heavy-hitting matchups each week until the champions are decided on Nov. 27 and 28. And no matter where you are, high school football will be some of the best football readily available to residents this week. The prep games should be more entertaining than the struggle-fest expected between U-M and MSU in Ann Arbor on Saturday night , and the Lions are in Miami on Sunday. Division II will be fun, though: Defending national champ Ferris State plays Wayne State in Detroit; undefeated Northwood is at home; Michigan Tech hosts Davenport in a ranked matchup; and Grand Valley State hosts Northern Michigan. Watch some good football first and don't let the Spartans or Wolverines dampen the mood on Saturday night. If it ends up as Tommy Carr vs. Kayd Coffman, the top two high school

Working together helps Michigan schools make the most of taxpayer dollars | Opinion

When we think about public education, our minds naturally go to the classroom — to the dedicated teachers and the bright, eager students who represent Michigan's future. But behind the scenes, a powerful engine of collaboration drives our schools forward. In an era when every taxpayer dollar matters more than ever, Michigan’s Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) and Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESAs) stand out as shining examples of government efficiency and economies of scale. Today, our communities are navigating unique economic challenges. Families are tightening their budgets, and taxpayers rightfully expect a high return on their investment in public institutions. At the same time, the academic, social and emotional needs of our students are growing. How do we balance fiscal responsibility with providing world-class educational opportunities? Part of the answer lies in the regional collaboration the ISD model champions. By pooling resources and centralizing essential functions, regional service agencies prevent the costly duplication of efforts across local districts. Instead of every single district purchasing separate software systems, managing independent specialized transportation networks or hiring overlapping administrative consultants, ISDs and RESAs provide these services regionally. This creates a massive economy of scale. Consider our neighbors in Wayne County. Wayne RESA supports
