Cyber School Legislation and Center for Michigan Forum


From Your EGRPS PTA Legislative Committee:

Disappointing news from Lansing this week that the Cyber School Legislation has been passed by the slimmest of margins (2 votes).  We don't know all of the changes that were made to the cyber school bill once it left committee.  We will keep you informed of how this legislation diverts money away from our schools.

The good news in East Grand Rapids is that Center for Michigan is coming to town on Wednesday, May 9 at 6pm in the Community Center, 750 Lakeside Drive SE, EGR, MI 49506, to find out what we think about all of the legislative changes to education in Michigan during the last year.  Please check them out at http://www.thecenterformichigan.net/community-conversations/.  We have room for about 40 parents to give our opinions. Please rsvp to lucylafleur@sbcglobal.net if you can attend.  Thanks.
