Salters in Detroit News: Race to the Top fails students

Wed, 01/27/2010 - 19:26 — dpratt

In her column in today's Detroit News, MEA President Iris K. Salters laments that the state's Race to the Top application failed to seize the opportunity to enact real, research-tested reforms like small class sizes and early childhood education. Instead, Michigan's plan was crafted "with political objectives instead of educational goals and without regard for strategies proven to help struggling schools."

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.
