A2: School Election

The Ann Arbor Schools Musings blog has published a Q&A with Andy Thomas, one of six candidates running for two seats on the Ann Arbor Public Schools board of trustees. In response to a question about whether Thomas, an incumbent, supports Gov. Rick Snyder’s education reforms, Thomas writes: “The Emergency Manager legislation seems designed to subvert local control and focuses exclusively on cutting costs rather than providing services. The use of School Aid Funds for purposes other than K-12 education is a grievous betrayal of the public trust, and a violation of the spirit (if not the letter) of the law as enacted by the people under Proposal A.” The election is on Nov. 8. [Source]
