The SOS Michigan Vision is to help students, schools and our state create a better future by mobilizing school communities to promote needed changes in how students are taught, and how schools and state services are funded and operate.

What Legislators Must Do: What School Leaders Must Do: What All Michigan's Citizens Must Do:
Restructure state and
K-12 revenues.		 Talk to your staff and community about
school funding.		 Contact your legislators.
Provide budget stability to Michigan's schools. Share services and purchasing. Get informed on the issues.
  Explore new methods
of delivering educational
programs and services.

Join SOS Michigan
and let your voice be heard.

New Webinar Posted!

Join superintendent Leonard Rezmierski and assistant superintendent Mary Kay Gallagher as they describe the series of community forums that will help shape the steep cuts the district will be forced to implement as early as second-semester 2009-10 and continuing through 2010-11. Learn how this community engagement process is mobilizing the community to action, and is already becoming a model that neighboring districts will adapt. View this Webinar.

Two New Videos for SOS!

We’re pleased to provide two new videos for your viewing and use. These are intended to provide factual background information that will help your staff and community better understand the economic situation Michigan faces, and the alternatives for the future.  We encourage you to share them with your district’s union leadership, employees and with your school and community groups. You may reproduce them or link to them as you wish. We believe the first step to solving our situation is gaining a common understanding among our diverse stakeholders. SOS will continue to produce these types of videos on a variety of topics for your use; please let us know if there are any specific issues you’d like to see, or any particular speaker who you feel has a message that should be shared.
