LANSING, Mich. — Last fall, Melissa Wriggelsworth said she spent some of her own paycheck to purchase binders for all 18 of her students.
It was a familiar sacrifice for the 49-year-old who taught at the Lansing Public School District for 20 years. She said that despite a superb tfeaching staff, schools had been “cash-strapped” and “we were always putting out fires.”
That district is now one of dozens that could see sizable layoffs or closure under the 2018-2019 education budget signed by Gov. Rick Snyder this week.
