Our Response to Today’s Legislative Votes on Public Education Funding

LANSING, Mich., September 25, 2024 — Michigan lawmakers today voted on key public education funding measures that will directly affect students, educators, and schools across the state.

"We continue to appreciate the leadership that Rep. Weiss and Rep. Koleszar have shown that has led to positive investments in our schools and our students," said Al Latosz, Superintendent of Algonac Community Schools and President of The K-12 Alliance of Michigan. "Today's actions will have both a short and long-term positive impact on public education funding and directly benefit the work educators are doing in classrooms across Michigan. It is critical, however, that we continue these efforts to ultimately enact the changes necessary to bring Michigan's K-12 funding system to where our students deserve it to be, and we look forward to working with the legislature to make that happen."
