Race to the Top legislation finalized, but there's still work to do

Mon, 12/21/2009 - 16:59 — MEA Votes

This past weekend, state legislators finalized and passed measures that enable Michigan to compete in the federal Race to the Top competition, putting the state in the running for up to $400 million in extra federal funds. It's money that could better equip our educators and prepare our children for the future. Unfortunately, the legislation also included some provisions that will hurt educators and students in the process.

A balanced solution for A Better Michigan Future

Tired of the games and gimmicks Lansing tries to use in balancing the state budget?

It's time for a balanced solution that actually solves our state's decade-long budget mess by investing in our state, rather than just more cuts that will continue our race to the bottom.

A Better Michigan Future, a coaltion of more than 30 groups (including MEA), is championing that balanced approach -- learn about the plan and how you can help at www.ABetterMichiganFuture.org.
