Michigan's education leaders join our voices in calling on voters to stand with us in opposing Proposals 2 and 5. School boards, principals, administrators and school business officials are united in supporting good teachers, good teaching practices and improved outcomes for students.
 
Our associations believe in the right of employees to collectively bargain and we would not support unwarranted tax increases. Our position is not a case of business versus education or teachers versus administrators. These proposals are an outright attempt by two unhappy groups to bypass Michigan's legislative process and rather inappropriately write statute in our constitution.  Simply stated, in order to protect our students, our taxpayers, and our constitution we must stand together to STOP PROPOSALS 2 AND 5.

This website is a resource for education leaders across Michigan and an information portal for the general public.
