Did you know that the Federal government approved $6 billion dollars for Michigan to use to help schools deal with the crises they face from COVID-19? We need to raise our voices and let the state and our communities know how we want the money spent to build healthy and healing schools.
Use the Community Voting Tool to show them what we need to make education better in Michigan.
These funds could go to programs such as:
-
Mental health supports and services
-
Upgrades to facilities
-
Special education support services
-
English language learner support services
-
Educational technology
-
Summer and after school programming
We know from listening sessions held last year across the state that Michigan families want to prioritize wellness and mental health through curriculums that reflect students’ identities and cultures, that include input from students and caregivers. With the extra $6 billion dollars in funding, how would you reimagine Michigan’s schools?
