Thank you:  The positive votes on these two proposals are a tremendous affirmation of our schools and community.  I am grateful to all of the candidates who offered themselves in service to the community as school board candidates, and I congratulate Vicki and Ron on being re-elected for new terms. 

We are still facing very serious financial challenges for next school year and beyond.  While the Manchester community met the challenge of supporting two critically important local proposals, there is a continued need for our elected officials in Lansing to address issues of reform and revenue for our public schools.  

For information on critical state-wide legislative issues in need of action in Lansing, visit "Save our Students, School and State" at: www.sosmichigan.org  To find out how to contact your representatives in Lansing, and insist that they address the critical issues facing public education, click here and then click on the link labled "Contact your Representative" or "Contact your Senator."

Thank you for your support of the Manchester Community School District!
