OUR OPPORTUNITY Michigan’S K-12 Public Schools, Which Once Led the Country, Have Steadily Fallen in State-By-State Comparisons

Home , Jocelyn Benson, Megan Cavanagh (judge)

OUR OPPORTUNITY Michigan’s K-12 public schools, which once led the country, have steadily fallen in state-by-state comparisons. You know why. The DeVos family has used their billions to control much of our state’s education policy. We can change that.

Our colleges and universities continue to struggle with state funding reductions, with the state legislature continually treating some better than others. We can change that.

This is our opportunity. Our opportunity to elect candidates who will reinvest in education and bring about much needed changes.

AFT Michigan endorses these statewide candidates because they will ﬁght with us to bring the changes we need. We endorse these ballot proposals because they will result in greater voter access and much fairer elections.
