State Prepares to Increase Funding for Education

Are state Republicans seeing the writing on the wall? Change is coming to the US in this fall's elections, and it will come to Michigan, too.

The Grand Rapids Press reported today that under a new bill that appears headed for Gov. Jennifer Granholm's (D) signature, "[a]rea school districts would see between $79 and $112 more per student for the upcoming school year."

After several years of Republicans trying to balance the budget on the backs of our children and our schools, this is welcome relief.
