House Roll Call 443: The amendment was adopted

To place back into the budget a prohibition on funding public school academies (charter schools) chartered by the Bay Mills Community College. The Upper Peninsula college serves Indians across the state, and contends that therefore it can establish charter schools anywhere in the state. Community colleges are authorized to establish an unlimited number of charter schools in their district, which normally is a clearly defined area such as a single county.
