[homeschoolhub] Lansing Event Postponed

 

The event in Lansing on Tuesday September 10 is cancelled. With the
school year just starting up, too many people were unable to attend.
Hopefully, a new event can be organized for October or November so our
voices can be heard. With more time to plan and organize, and with
more time for people to settle into their schedules and routines for
the year, it will work better.

[homeschoolhub] Opportunity to Speak in Lansing

 

Dear Homeschool Families and Friends,

In Michigan, parent partnerships run by local school districts allow
homeschooling families to take advantage of many opportunities for
their students to participate in classes and activities. The same
classes and activities are available to all students in the area,
including public and private school students, enhancing the
educational opportunities for all Michigan students. Homeschool
families who support these partnerships are invited to Lansing to
speak to legislators and to the state school board on September 10th.
Please mark your calendars now if you might want to participate.

There have been many "bumps in the road" for parent partnership
programs statewide in Michigan. It appears the legislators support and
encourage the partnerships, but the Michigan Department of Education
(MDE) seems to be doing all it can to shut partnerships down. It is
the MDEs job to follow the laws/directions of the state legislature
and work to support and grow the partnerships. They have not done so.
Instead they have used their audit process to take funding for the
programs away from the partnership districts. When MDE auditors think
they have found a problem, they should use that "finding" to explain
why there is a problem and how it can be corrected, giving the
partnerships direction on how to improve their programs. Instead, they
have been taking away funding immediately upon finding what they
decide is a problem, without warning and without giving the
partnership district a chance to correct the issue.

Often the partnership programs obtain permission and approval for
their programs from their local auditor. This causes them to move
forward with their programs. Subsequently, a state auditor changes
what was approved by their local auditor and takes away their funding,
sometimes millions of dollars. The decision of the state auditor can
be appealed and overturned, but it takes years, which leaves the
programs in disarray. This results in an adversarial relationship
between the MDE and the districts with partnership programs, rather
than the cooperative and supportive relationship that should exist.

The MDE State Board meeting this month is on Tuesday, September 10th.
Their time for public comments starts at 1pm. Here is a link to their
rules, with a form at the bottom to turn in to request 3-5 minutes to
talk to the state board.

https://www.michigan.gov/documents/publicparticipation_119444_7.pdf

The legislature is also in session on September 10th. The buildings
for the legislature and the state board of education are about two
blocks apart.

Homeschoolers who support the parent partnerships are encouraged to go
to Lansing on September 10th and ask their representatives and
senators for help in dealing with MDE in the late morning, and then to
go to the MDE school board meeting before 1pm to ask the Michigan
State Board of Education to direct the auditing department to stop
taking funds, and start supporting these programs. Please watch for
further announcements as more details become available.
