Heise Calls for Support on Superintendent, Synthetic Drug Bills

Representative co-sponsors bills identifying synthetic drugs, easing requirements on superintendent hires.

Rep. Kurt Heise (R-Plymouth) called for support from school board members and administrators Tuesday on bills he is co-sponsoring that would ease requirements for superintendent candidates and tackle the availability of synthetic drugs such as Spice and K-2.

House Bill 5238, Heise said, would open the field of possible candidates for school district superintendent jobs by eliminating requirements mandating administrator certification from the state.

Michigan Department of Education Plans for New Online-Based Assessments

Changes will take place during the 2014-2015 school year.

Paper and pencil for statewide tests will soon be a thing of the past for Michigan students as they prepare to take a new online assessment detailed during a roundtable Monday by the Michigan Department of Education.
