House Rep. Douglas Wozniak (R-Shelby Township) is urging passage of a new proposal that will provide school districts in Macomb County more say in school-related decisions as school is set to resume in the fall, a Michigan House Republicans release stated.
The plan is a joint House-Senate proposal that would give school districts more say in what works best for each individual district.
“The governor has attempted to manage everything about the COVID-19 crisis unilaterally, but local communities know how their areas have been impacted and what measures should be in place to keep kids safe,” Wozniak said on Michigan House Republicans website. “These plans provide that flexibility, instead of creating a one-size-fits-all approach for the state or for individual regions the governor has created. It’s a tailored plan.”
The plan has been referred to the House Education Committee. It includes a hazard payment for teachers, more funding per pupil, limits the use of snow days to be used as remote instruction and requires the school districts to work with health departments regarding safety requirements.
