MI Schools of Choice bill coming as foes gear up for fight

An education reform package that includes mandatory Schools of Choice and cyber schools could be introduced in the state Legislature as early as Wednesday, the chairman of the state Senate Education Committee said.

"It's a good possibility on Wednesday, the 24th, we'll have part of the package ready for introduction," said state Sen. Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair Township.

The education package also addresses charter school caps and school aid. The package is part of Gov. Rick Snyder's proposed "Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace" public school learning model

Mandatory Schools of Choice is emerging as the most controversial part of the education package.

Opposition is strong in the heavily Republican Grosse Pointes. In heavily Democratic Detroit, three legislators have said they are opposed to state-mandated Schools of Choice because, they said, it will negatively impact Detroit Public Schools

Sndyer is a dick, but this is something worthwile. School districts are just artificial anyway, it's wrong to deny Detroit students a good public education, because they live on the wrong side of a street.

we could just fund all the schools properly and fix the problem instead of busing kids all over the place ?

oh no, lets not think about fixing things... lets just shift kids around... thatll solve the problem..


What is wrong with democrats these days? yikes.

public schools dont work ? heres a voucher.
public school doesnt work? we will drive you to another.


yeah, im sure this problem will be solved soon with genius answers like that.
