Michigan public education is in crisis. 

Over the past 30 years spending on Michigan's public schools, and the taxes to fund that spending, have increased dramatically, much faster than the rate of inflation.  Yet the quality of the education our children are receiving has plummeted, by almost any measure you use. 

We are wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on expenditures that do not contribute to academic excellence.  Thousands more administrators, not more teachers.  More state oversight, not more freedom for local schools to address local needs.  Costly athletic facilities, not more classrooms.    

With your help, we can improve our children's education.

We can dramatically cut the cost of public education by eliminating non-teaching positions, non-academic programs, and worthless state oversight, while preserving what matters -- the academic programs.

We can encourage parents to home school, use private schools or send their children to charter schools, rather than much more costly taxpayer-funded traditional public schools, by slashing state regulation of home schools, private schools and charter schools.

Please join me in fighting for our kids' future. 

Best regards,

Bill Hall
