Republican leaders in the state House and Senate are pushing hard to pass damaging education bills before a new Legislature can be seated. MEA lobbyists need your help—NOW IS THE TIME TO RAISE YOUR VOICE.

Education policy changes being bandied about both chambers in the eleventh hour could increase the stakes on standardized test scores for schools, weaken union and collective bargaining rights, and enact a school funding shift toward vouchers with little public notice or input.

Review the MEA positions below, contact your representative and senator to urge “no” votes on the following bills, and talk with your friends and colleagues about getting involved to stop bad policies from being enacted.

We’ve stopped these kinds of Lame Duck attacks before—your calls and emails matter! Step up and make a difference, and encourage others to get involved, because we all can agree—Michigan needs thoughtful education policy that respects the voices of school employees and community.
