In the 2000s the State of Michigan requested that the district buy land in an area in Commerce Township. At the time the state owned about 600 acres (240 ha) of land there. In February 2004 the district filed an application with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources proposing to purchase 155 acres (63 ha) of land along Wise Road in the township. In response, a land conservation group attempted to stop the efforts.[3]
In 2010 the district reported having a potential deficit of $22.7 million for the 2010–2011 school year. The district proposed a deficit reduction plan which proposed privatizing transportation and custodial services and laying off 300 district employees, including teachers.[4]
In 2017, the school board voted to close the Community Education Center due to increased costs and decreased funding from the state. The district at the time was also completing the Safety, Security and Technology Bond, that was approved by voters in 2014. When it became time to renovate the Community Education Center, it was determined that due to the age and functions of the building, it would not be fiscally-responsible to complete the projects for that building. As of the beginning of the 2017–2018 school year, the district moved all of the Community Education Center offices to the Educational Services Center. The City of Walled Lake filed lawsuit against the school district to prevent it from being demolished, which the district had gone out to bid for. City officials cited that the building is a landmark in the city, being built in the early 1920s, and many residents were concerned about the new use on that property if sold to a private developer. In spite of this, demolition of the Community Education Center was completed in late 2018. The area in the heart of Walled Lake is currently still empty as of June 2021.
