The
Senate and the House are both considering legislation which would give

Michigan charter schools met the Michigan Department of Education’s
(MDE) deadline for fixing administrative issues like posting documents
on their websites, but they could still face suspension this month over

would be barred from opening any new charter schools until all issues
are addressed.

assessments.

The debate that is scheduled tonight between Sen. Meekhoff and Sarah Howard is an important one to attend. Apparently, the Senator is trying hard to pack the room EARLY with his supporters. Even if you know who you are going to vote for in this election support for our candidate would be appreciated. The conversation, I am sure, will also be good.
Interested in learning a bit more about your State Senate Candidates? Come
to the town hall meeting at Spring Lake Public Library to hear Senator Arlan
Meekhoff and the MEA/GHEA supported opponent, Sarah Howard respond
to some burning questions we all have. Learn/understand the differing
perspectives about cuts to public education. It is vital to show up to this event
so that our candidates understand who their constituents are. Share your voice
with your presence and stand up for public education. Hope to see you all
there. 7:00 Wednesday October 29th, at the spring lake library
Some discussion points if you attend tonight - very very very interesting on our man Meekhoff - feel free to share with your staff
