Unscheduled Appearance at Conference Senate Majority Leader Dan DeGrow addressed school superintendents at their mid-winter conference last week.
People recognize the importance of education and the Michigan legislature does, too.
In the 1991 economic downturn, Michigan was the only state in the nation that solved its budget woes without cutting K-12 education. The School Aid Fund has been protected from numerous tax cuts. We re doing a good job in public education and we need to talk more about our successes. This is not true in all countries. Students are learning more things, learning them earlier, and learning them better than ever before.
