In focusing on how Michigan state policies affect the financing of education options, NYEC seeks to enable and encourage Michigan and its communities to develop policies that facilitate the creation of viable education options and multiple pathways to a high school diploma for struggling students at risk of dropping out and for those who have already left school. The report offers specific recommendations for improving the policy climate for the expansion of education options, describing policies and initiatives in other states that Michigan might consider. |
