We are writing to encourage the voters of Washtenaw County to support the school millage on Nov. 3. The news from Lansing on school funding gets worse every day.
Our superintendent has made it clear that we can no longer count on the beleaguered state of Michigan to support our schools adequately.
There is no doubt that one of the major components for bringing the state of Michigan out of the recession is the education of its children.Â
Michigan has relied for too long on the auto industry for high-paying, low-skilled jobs. We can no longer do this as the jobs of the future will require more education and skills.
Good schools are necessary to attract businesses, jobs and people to our state. Good schools support the value of our homes. It would be very short sighted not to pass this millage. Wayne and Melinda Colquitt Ann Arbor
