State School Reform Advocates Warn Over Township System
A state educational reform push argues township districts are outdated and ill suited for modern needs. It cites districts with only two to five school aged children, and counties like Kalamazoo paying large sums for rural tuition.

A primary election bill proposes enrollment rules, mandatory nominations, and streamlined county-level processes.
