"B-20" in Michigan

In his state of the state address earlier this month, new Governor Rick Snyder said, "We’ve been spending money without delivering the results to give our young people a bright future. It is time that we view our educational system which runs from pre-natal to lifelong learning. It’s time to start talking about B-20 instead of just K-12."

At a time when many "P-16" and "P-20" councils do not have early learning on their agendas or an explicit representative of early learning in their membership, a "B-20" approach in Michigan would be truly revolutionary, and a potential model for other states to consider.
