No action on SB 619 before April
There was no action on SB 619 (cyber school legislation) before the legislators left for their spring break. Please keep the pressure on your legislator to oppose this bill. Even in its reduced form (allowing no more than 3% of Michigan students to enroll in cyber schools) it is a bill that opens the door for substandard, privatized education, paid for with public school dollars.
