New Developments for the RTTT Legislation

The following is a link to the MEA's press release regarding new developments in talks with the state superintendent and the governor about details of the RTTT legislation.

I continue to maintain my stance that I will not sign the Memorandum of Understanding, nor a letter of intent. The MEA leaders continue to bargain with the state's leaders regarding the RTTT legislation and promise new details on Monday.

In the meantime, Walled Lake's Board of Education voted not to sign the Memorandum of Understanding at their Special Board Meeting last night. Schools boards in Brighton, Hartland, and South Lyon took similar action in the last 24 hours.
