The MEA Voice is published for Zeeland alternative high school teacher Roberta Brown Parker and the more than 160,000 other MEA members. Brown Parker supports the re-election of Gov. Jennifer Granholm on Nov. 7.

“Gov. Granholm is a true friend of public education who has kept her promise to increase funding for education, even in tough economic times,” Brown Parker said. “The governor also strongly supported the tougher new graduation requirements that will better prepare our students for the higher education and advanced training they will need to succeed in the 21st century economy.”

She encourages MEA members across the state to work on the Granholm re-election campaign.
