New statewide poll shows public support for reforming Michigan's school finance system
A new poll commissioned by the School Finance Research Collaborative and performed by nationwide research company Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, shows widespread support for changing the way we fund Michigan's schools to make it fairer and meet the individual needs of all students. "It's time for a new school funding system that meets the unique, individual needs of all students, whether they are enrolled in special education, live in poverty or attend school in geographically isolated areas," said Michael F. Addonizio, school finance research collaborative member and professor of education policy studies at Wayne State University. "This survey shows that voters across Michigan want us to replace Michigan's current one-size-fits-all school funding system with a more individualized approach that serves all students, and the School Finance Research Collaborative study provides the building blocks to do that."
