This is a complete listing of Local Education Agency (LEA), or public school districts in the state of Michigan.[1]
LEA school districts are generally independent governmental agencies as per the U.S. Census Bureau. Michigan counts Detroit Public Schools as the only school district classified as a "first class school district". Circa 2002, due to the state government giving control of the district to the municipal government, the U.S. Census Bureau counted the Detroit district as a dependent school system, though the Census Bureau stated that it was an independent school system from 1997 to 1999.[2]
