Michigan Healthy & Healing Community Schools Cookbook

Public school funding in Michigan largely comes from state and local sources, but it has not kept pace with what students need to thrive. Too many schools, particularly in under-resourced communities, struggle with outdated buildings, overworked teachers, and limited support services.

 

This cookbook shares what we need to create a system of healthy and healing community schools across our state. Each recipe is created based on the expert knowledge of Michigan students, parents, teachers, and community members, gathered through a multi-year study in collaboration with the National Education Policy Center (NEPC). Dig in and discover what it takes to build a better future for Michigan’s students—one recipe at a time.
