School Choice in the States -- Michigan

SCHOOL CHOICE IN THE STATES

FOCUS ON:
MICHIGAN

DEVELOPMENTS:

ELECTION 2000: Michigan's voucher initiative was defeated at the ballot box. Added to those of the past in this and other states, the defeat is yet another indication of the difficulties faced by reformers when challenging the status quo with its years of entrenchment and well-organized ground troops. For information on the Michigan proposal visit www.kidsfirstyes.org. See also CER Newswire, October 31, 2000
A group of Michigan leaders is trying to reverse the trend of major school choice losses through the initiative process. Get the details in CER's January 2000 Monthly Letter.
