Interview with Colin Armstrong on the Fundamental Inequities in Public School Funding
This week we listen to part 3 in our series of interviews investigating the fundamental inequities in public school funding. Our third guest is Colin Armstrong, Superintendent of Muskegon Public Schools.
Colin Armstrong has been in education for 36 years, but in point of fact has only been in Michigan for a year and a half. Prior to Michigan, he was a Superintendent in North Carolina and led a successful legal challenge in that State's Supreme Court against the State of North Carolina pursuing more equitable funding of Public Schools.
When talking about the inequities in Public School Funding in Michigan, Colin speaks with passion, "And what you then see is this terribly insidious plot, and I have used the word plot specifically. This does not just happen and nobody has noticed it. This is happening because those that have the economic and political power to make it happen are working to ensure it stays the way it is."
