Prior to 1994, Michigan’s school funding was primarily reliant on local property taxes, which led to significant disparities in resources between communities, as districts with higher property values could generate more revenue than districts with lower property values. Consequently, students in wealthier areas often had access to better facilities, resources, and educational opportunities than those in less affluent districts.

Many thanks to all those involved in making the 2024 Earth Fest Celebration a success. The displays by Mrs. Horne’s Native Ed class; the interactive displays by the ACRES Group; and also displays by Alger Soil Conservation District, John Forslin and the Climate Reality Project, the Alger County Seed Library, and the Mather Elementary students with their super neat Nature Haikus, all made the library very “Earth-Festive!” Thanks to Rep. Jenn Hill for the Legislative update on the environment, and for the recycling coloring books that she provided. Altogether, everyone combined for a wonderful celebration. Extreme gratitude goes out as well to Joan Potter-Sommer for coordinating the displays, Dr. James Waller and Dr. Stephen DeDecker for their excellent presentations, and finally, to Gallery Coffee for hosting the nature series, the response has been very positive. Looking forward to 2025.
