Budget Pushes Ed Closures Across Michigan Schools
The 16.8 billion 2018 2019 education budget signed by Gov. Snyder targets partnership districts seen as lowest performing. If they fail to show progress by 18 and 36 months, these schools could close or lose at least 25 percent of staff. Critics warn good teachers may be lost and student outcomes unchanged. The plan stems from partnership agreements crafted to salvage underperforming schools and now faces new scrutiny as Snyder exits and Whiston’s successor takes over.
