LANSING MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Several state lawmakers have combined forces to put forth a package of bills designed to help alleviate the teacher shortage in Michigan.
State Rep. Christine Morse, D-Texas Township, and 13 fellow Democrats are proposing 18 bills, ranging from modification of how teachers are evaluated, to whether teachers can have a say in whether students who cannot read at grade level by 3rd grade are held back, to requiring the state to pay for teachers’ certification and recertification fees.
The package is expected to be sent to committee on Thursday.
