Current Event Issues In Education - Race to the Top MI

Ryan StevensDetroit Statehouse

examineer

Michigan legislature did

not pass for the federal

educational grant-Race

to the Top dollars.

The Michigan public school have been hurting financially, experiencing a deal of budget

cuts.

The state legislature was hoping to be one of the states that could be promoted with this

educational grant which would have saved a lot of jobs

The U.S. Department of Education demanded to document

past educational reform success.

The state legislature was also asked to outline plans for what

the money will be used for towards the public school

systems in Michigan

Colorado,

Delaware,

Florida,

Georgia,

Illinois,

Kentucky,

Louisiana,

Massachusetts,

New York,

North Carolina,

Ohio,

Pennsylvania,

Rhode Island,

South Carolina,

Tennessee.

Note: Is it odd that

majority of the

winning states for

this grant are

eastern states?

On account the

state legislature had

to put together an

outline of budget

plan with the Race

to the Top grant.

Within our recent

decade

technology has

found its way into

the classroom. It

has been forming

a different way

students may

learn.

Another reason why we could

have used this grant in Michigan

is we could save and increase

the number of teaching jobs

available in our state.

The state legislature has

realized how

important it is to focus

on grants directed

towards our

educational system.

Our state is now going

to try to apply for

grants with a stronger

budget outline

Our legislature has now

undergone passing different

educational budgets there

will be around a couple

budget decisions this

upcoming year.
