Michigan Board of Education Comes To Ann Arbor! May 26th

The State Board of Education is coming to our town, and I think it's important for you to give them a piece of your mind.

The State Board of Education will host a series of regional forums across the state over the next month. The forums are designed as listening and discussion sessions on current education conditions, reforms, and the future direction of education in Michigan. Read about the State Board of Education right here. 

Here's your opportunity to share your thoughts with our Michigan State Board of Education Members. 

According to their press release, "The forums are an opportunity for education stakeholders to meet with State Board of Education members, discuss current education conditions, reform and budget proposals, and the future direction of education in Michigan. All forums are open to the public and participants are invited to make written or oral comments. For more information on the forums please contact: John Austin, State Board of Education President, jcaustin@umich.edu; or Marilyn Schneider, State Board Executive, Schneiderm@michigan.gov."
