Protestors against school closings march to state office

wikipedia

A group of activists and concerned citizens marched against school closings in Lansing today.

They marched to the office of Technology, Management and Budget– which currently oversees the office in charge of school closings.

   The goal was to offer testimony about what school closures would do to their communities

   David Alexander Bullock is an organizer with the Change Agent Consortium. It’s a social justice agency in Detroit. 

“We really want to get a sense of what the long-term plan here is and where is there an opportunity for direct community engagement.”

Governor Rick Snyder recently announced he’s delaying the decision on which of the 38 chronically failing schools will close.
