All Four Teachers in New Schauer Ad Claiming School Cuts are in Districts Receiving More Money

All Four Teachers in New Schauer Ad Claiming School Cuts are in Districts Receiving More Money [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"A new Mark Schauer for governor political advertisement features four teachers from four different school districts who claim that Gov. Rick Snyder has cut funding to their districts.
But in fact, on a per-student basis, all four districts actually received more taxpayer money in 2013-14 than they did in 2010-2011, which was the last budget approved by Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
The ad features seven teachers but only four specifically cite lower funding.
For months Schauer, who is the Democratic candidate for the state’s top office, has claimed that Gov. Snyder cut funding to public schools.
This claim has been refuted by several sources."
