Growing Michigan with Great Schools

Overview:

As an economic development plan, the Growing Michigan Together Council’s recommendations are distinctive in their strong focus on education and training. This brief builds on the Council’s work to describe the many ways that well-resourced schools are an essential component of community development. It also fills a gap in the Council’s report by examining the state financing needed to attain this promising vision.
