MEA president calls Muskegon Heights charter school plan 'ruthless takeover' | MLive.com
The president of the Michigan Education Association says the plan to turn Muskegon Heights' public schools into a charter school system is an “unimaginable attack on democracy and public education.”
MEA President Steven Cook issued a strongly-worded statement opposing the “ruthless takeover” plans of Muskegon Heights Public Schools Emergency Manager Donald Weatherspoon, whom Cook erroneously refers to as “Don Witherspoon.”
“In one swift secretive move, he’s robbed the community of their neighborhood schools, ended the career of more than 85 staff members, and sold the education of Muskegon Heights students to the lowest bidder,” Cook said.
