Episode 8- With Dems in Control, What Will the Future Hold for Charter Schools in Michigan?

With the 2022 election behind us now, Democrats – who are largely influenced by the teachers’ unions – are fully in control in Lansing. What messages did the voters deliver, and what will the new power structure mean for charter schools, parents and K-12 education in Michigan? We tackled this topic in front of a standing-room-only live audience at the 2022 Michigan Charter School Symposium and even took some questions from the crowd. The result was a no-holds-barred discussion that was lively and informative.
