Governor Says 'No' To Dual Diploma

It looks like Rep. Joel SHELTROWN (D-West Branch) would need to get enough votes to override a veto if he hopes to see his bill, HB 5943, get enacted.

HB 5943 would create a dual diploma system for "students who don't fit the mold for going on to college".

"We're not in support of lowering standards," Granholm Press Secretary Liz BOYD told MIRS today. "We fought for more a rigorous curriculum and our support for that continues."
