Grand Rapids school board candidate says budget cuts require closer look at privatization, pension reform MLive.com
"Her three point plan includes the following:
1- Better fiscal management: Let’s privatize non-essential services. We need to eliminate collective bargaining because all we are really doing is bargaining away our children’s
education.
2. Common sense cost cutting: We must use a defined contribution plan. MESSA (union-owned teacher health insurance) is a Cadillac plan that teachers pay nothing or next to nothing for. We must also roll back administrative extras such as vehicle allowances and monthly stipends.
3. More teacher accountability: We must reform teacher tenure."

Whoa nellie!
The education establishment will hate these 3 points!
Imagine an outsider who thinks cost and performance ought to be major considerations!
This woman may be the most articulate hope for our children's financial future.
Christine Jurrians.
Remember her name.
