A2: Education

By

WOOD-TV8, the NBC affiliate in Grand Rapids, posts an AP article about the election of State Board of Education members. Incumbent John Austin of Ann Arbor is running for re-election. One of the issues the board faces is the financial health of Detroit Public Schools. Austin said: “My best sense is this process is likely to produce some good teamwork with Detroit. That may get the job done, in terms of a budget plan that is acceptable.” [Source]
