Record number of Michigan school districts operating under budget deficit, officials say

The Detroit Free Press reports:

It’s not just urban school districts, like Detroit, Ecorse and Pontiac, that are operating with deficits, state School Superintendent Mike Flanagan told legislators Thursday morning. Fifty-five districts, including Mt. Clemens, Brighton, Pinckney and White Cloud, are spending more money than they’re taking in and are subject to state review. It’s the largest number of deficit-ridden schools the state’s seen, Flanagan said.

The great moments of public education.
