Tri-County Alliance on Michigan School Funding Legislation (Update)

Enough is Enough
Over the next several weeks, the Michigan House Transportation and Infrastructure committee will be readying a bill package for passage with the stated goal of better funding road repairs. It's a top priority of the Governor, the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader.

Unbelievably, however, they are marching forward with a plan to pay for this by cutting the School Aid Fund by $800 million, which would result in another cut of more than $500 per pupil. The first part of the plan, House Bill 4572 is set to move later this week.

Please TAKE ACTION now and tell your State Representative to oppose House Bills 4572, 4539 and any plan that cuts even a penny more from local schools.
