DETROIT – On Tuesday, the K-12 Alliance of Michigan representing hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and schools held a roundtable to give a glimpse of issues facing students, teachers and learning.
One issue being the $1.6 billion federal allocation signed by then-President Donald Trump that has not yet shown in the state as well as the debate over who should control what in Lansing.
