On this episode of Now You Novi, we sit down with Ben Mainka, Superintendent of the Novi Community School District, to break down his recent State of the Schools address.
He shares what the newly approved $425 million bond means for students, families, and the broader Novi community. From major upgrades and long term facility improvements to the transformation of the Civic Center and High School campus area, Superintendent Mainka walks us through what residents can expect and how these investments will shape the future.
We also dive into the growing partnership between the school district and the City of Novi, and how collaboration is helping maximize resources and strengthen the entire community.

A Novi resident with a creative eye and a passion for community, Theresa Schierloh joins us on this episode of Now You Novi. Theresa is the owner of Dancing Eye Gallery in Northville and shares her unique perspective on the strong partnership between Novi and Northville.
She talks about why she reached out to be on the podcast, what it means to run a small business in a neighboring downtown, and how the Novi/Northville connection benefits residents, businesses, and the broader community.
