On Oct. 1, 2019, Governor Gretchen Whitmer vetoed a $240 per-pupil funding increase for charter school students, while OK'ing funding for other public school students - all in an effort to bargain for road funding. The #PawnChallenge calls on charter educators, advocates, parents and students to share real stories, about our real kids - showing Gov. Whitmer & our elected officials that MI charter students are not just faceless pawns to be used as bargaining chips in their political game.
We recommend a 1-2 minute selfie video, filmed in vertical orientation.
