The U.S. Department of Education provides critical help for Michigan students with special needs and kids attending rural and urban school districts.

Every student — regardless of where they live or their family’s income — deserves a great education that can prepare them for the jobs of the future.

Eliminating or defunding the Department of Education would cause irreparable harm to hundreds of thousands of students across Michigan at a time when we should be giving them more support — not less.
