Michigan public schools are what guide and inform the next generation of policy makers, businesspeople, cultural leaders and, yes, teachers. Understanding where the taxpayer support for this important service is distributed and the schools’ performance and effectiveness is a civic duty, and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy is happy to help make things clearer for parents and concerned citizens alike. The Michigan School Databases showcase several methods to keep tabs and shed some light on the policy and process.
