State's pt. of view:
We have inner city districts across the state with...
*Deteriorating schools with declining populations and a tax base on homes of lesser value; no millage support.
BUT..we have suburban schools across the state with...
*NICE schools with declining populations and a tax base on homes of HIGHER value..WITH millage support.

NO!! Who pays 4 'remedial' classes? You gonna talk residents into paying for computer/lab/maint. up-grades on THEIR taxes to make YOUR headache go away? I pd. more for my house, more in taxes to be in a good dist. as an INVESTMENT!! You're gonna take that from me?
And you say 'no child ever suspended' or 'having a felony' (please?) will be able 2 transfer. So ur gonna have 'delinquent' schools?
Do that, and u should change 'Pure Michigan' to 'Michigan, the BEST place to visit..', so everyone under their breath can finish with 'but I wouldn't want to live there.'
