Don’t use Michigan’s K-12 fund for higher education
Michigan’s education funding system has been broken for a long time.
Gov. Rick Snyder’s plan to shift college and university funding into the School Aid Fund that pays for K-12 education is not a good long-term solution.
Snyder is trying to use the financial pressure to accelerate efforts to curb the overpromising of salaries, pensions and benefits – especially health care benefits – to teachers. Likewise, many in the Republican Party believe the state’s colleges and universities have spent too much on salaries and benefits.
