Register today to join us at the spring Behind the Scenes at the Capitol event on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, in the Anderson House Office Building from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. This event is a great opportunity to come to Lansing and hear from legislators and budget experts who will provide a timely status summary. It also allows for networking between districts to learn from one another.  

Our agenda will include a panel of legislators for discussion, we have invited the chairs and minority vice chairs of the House and Senate Education Committee, and a budget update. We will also have discussions on sinking funds and the potential expansion to buses and the status of changes to the teacher evaluation law.

We hope you will join us and also take advantage of the opportunity to speak face-to-face with your legislators and their staff and fellow board members from around the state on issues affecting your districts.  

Tentative Agenda topics:

• Legislator Panel with Rep. Matt Koleszar, Rep. Jaime Greene (invited), Sen. Dayna Polehanki (invited) and Sen. John Damoose (invited)
• Budget update with Senate Fiscal Agency

• Talking points, Q&A and Legislative Update with Jennifer Smith, Director of Government Relations, MASB
