History
Public school in Lansing began in May 1847. Between 1847 and 1851, three separate school districts were created within the three wards of the then-small city. In March 1861 the number of wards was increased to four and the districts were consolidated into a single all-inclusive school district within the city limits as required by the new city charter.[4]
In 1966 the district began a trial basis racial desegregation program. The district began desegregation busing at the elementary level in 1972.[5] The vote to enact the desegregation plan was 5-3.[6]

Most of the district is in Ingham County. There, the district includes most of the county's portion of Lansing, as well as portions of East Lansing, Lansing Charter Township, and Delhi Charter Township.[7]
A portion of the district is in Clinton County, where it serves portions of the parts of Lansing and East Lansing in the county, as well as sections of DeWitt Charter Township and Watertown Charter Township.[8]
A portion of the district is in Eaton County, where it serves portions of the parts of Lansing in the county, as well as sections of Delta Charter Township and Windsor Charter Township.[9]
