State Board of Education Seeks Input

Education is a topic much in the public eye these days in Michigan, and the Michigan State Board of Education is seeking the views of citizens to inform their efforts to oversee the educational system and recommend policy and funding to the governor and Legislature. The Board plans to hold a series of five forums across the state in the next few weeks to listen and to discuss education conditions, reforms and future direction. Forums will be held in Ann Arbor, Clinton Township, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Mount Pleasant.
