House Roll Call 335: The amendment was adopted

To place back into the budget a prohibition on funding public school academies (charter schools) chartered by the Bay Mills Community College. The Upper Peninsula college serves American Indians across the state, and contends that therefore it can establish charter schools anywhere in the state. Community colleges may establish an unlimited number of charter schools in their districts, which normally encompass narrower geographic areas, such as a single county.
