Gov. Rick Snyder wants to shake up education in the state.
Paul Egan and Chastity Pratt Dawsey of the Detroit Free Press report that at draft bill prepared for Gov. Rick Snyder would allow students to choose school districts, enroll for online classes and get $2,500 for every semester they graduate earlier from high school.
The Freep writes:
Snyder's advisers said the primary objective for overhauling the education funding law is to create "career-ready citizens," but educators who have waited for months to see the draft bill fear the worst: that the bill would destroy local control of schools, create a voucher system to benefit for-profit companies and worsen academic achievement.
