The House K-12 budget is out & the headline is a $291M ongoing investment in reducing district MPSERS costs. Since the source of the funding for this change comes from redirecting MPSERS debt payment savings, MASSP applauds this reinvestment in our classrooms. #mibudget #miched

Detroit superintendent Vitti is urging lawmakers to keep all savings from Whitmer's pension maneuver in Sec. 147 - it'd enable MI to lower what districts pay to 14% of payroll, from 21%, freeing up $ for schools locally. Whitmer wants much of that $ for other education spending.

It’s lame duck. The House GOP members left hours ago. But session is still going and the House GOP staffers are still here! Throwing some love their way for proving that staff is the heart of good government on both sides of the aisle. Tip of the hat to you guys!
