Welcome The Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District (TBAISD) is one of 57 ISDs in the state of Michigan, encompassing sixteen public school districts, three public school academies and fourteen private and parochial schools within Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska and Leelanau counties. When ISDs were established in 1962, the name "Intermediate" School District was chosen to reflect their role as a link between local school districts and the Michigan Department of Education. As the scope and responsibility of schools grew, however, so did the role of the ISD to include providing its local districts with those programs and services which are either too expensive or too extensive to be offered individually. TBAISD's motto, "Leading Lifetime Learning", reflects their commitment to providing continually expanding educational opportunities for all learners. Mission: The mission of the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District is to enhance educational effectiveness. To do this we will: Provide organizational and instructional leadership Help local school districts capitalize on change Pursue continuous improvement in teaching and learning Work to make every learner successful Read more about our mission and TBA’s "Framework for the Future”

Place an ad (none) Poor kids can go to private schools Some see new scholarships as threat to public education September 29, 1998 BY MELANIE EVERSLEY Free Press Washington Staff WASHINGTON Michigan came out the big winner Monday in a new national scholarship program set up by an entrepreneur to help poor children go to private or parochial schools. But the Children's Scholarship Fund is just the type of program that some public-school advocates say threatens the future of public education. Of 35,000 four-year scholarships ranging from $600 to $1,600 annually, 3,750 totaling about $15 million will go to Michigan. About 50 percent will be granted to students in metro Detroit; 37 percent are earmarked for the Grand Rapids area. "This is fabulous news," said Anita Nelam, a member of the Detroit Partnership for Parental Choice, a coalition of Detroit ministers and others who want alternatives to Detroit Public Schools. "This is a tremendous opportunity for us to expand parental choice in the city." The competition could help improve Detroit Public Schools, she said.

Home News Sports Entertainment ... Rochelle Riley SECTIONS Today's stories Metro Wayne Oakland ... Place an ad Voucher ads have voters confused But here are answers to Proposal 1 questions November 2, 2000 BY PEGGY WALSH-SARNECKI FREE PRESS EDUCATION WRITER One campaign ad shows several Michigan newspapers lying on the bottom of a bird cage, a parrot squawking in the background. Another shows a child, the camera slowly panning back to show she's in a wheelchair. Ads about Proposal 1 have run the gamut from sarcasm to pathos. Depending on who you listen to, vouchers will either save poor children in failing school districts or destroy public education throughout the state. But millions of dollars' worth of campaign ads have obscured the facts about Michigan's school voucher proposal. "I still don't understand the specifics," Greg Kozlowski of Roseville said of Proposal 1, just one week before the election. "I don't have enough information to decide." He's not alone. Proposal 1 is complicated. In addition to instituting vouchers, or publicly funded scholarships to private schools, it would make teacher testing mandatory and set a minimum level of school funding in Michigan. Here are frequently asked question about Proposal 1, and the answers. Q: If the state could send tax dollars to private schools, "what about the separation of church and state?" asked Stephen Judd of St. Clair Shores. "How would that be handled?"

North America Michigan, California school voucher initiatives threaten public education By Andrea Cappannari and Debra Watson 6 November 2000 Use this version to print On November 7 voters in California and Michigan will cast ballots on state-wide initiatives to provide parents with publicly funded school vouchers to send their children to private or parochial schools. California's Proposition 38 (the National Average School Funding Guarantee and Parental Right to Choose Quality Education Amendment) would make a $4,000 voucher available to the parents of all school-age children. The official anti-voucher coalitions are largely made up of the teachers unions and other AFL-CIO affiliates and sections of the Democratic Party. But these forces offer no serious program or strategy for addressing the crisis in public education, and the danger consequently exists that growing numbers of parents, desperate to find better conditions for their children, may be susceptible to pro-voucher arguments, if not now, then at some point in the future. These forces have sought to exploit the widespread anxiety felt by working class and middle class families over deteriorating conditions in the public school system. The voucher proponents, however, conceal the fact that the crisis in the schools is the product of decades of federal, state and local spending cuts, tax breaks to big business and attacks on teachers' and other school employees' wages and working conditions.

Education Issues Detroit schools takeover approved by Michigan legislature By Walter Gilberti and Lina Jones 6 April 1999 Following the passage last week, by the Michigan House of Representatives, of a final version of the "school reform bill" aimed at taking over the Detroit Public School system, Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer moved quickly to remove the incumbent school board. In what one newspaper columnist described metaphorically as the "night-of-the-long-knives," the mayor demanded the resignation of the entire outgoing board last Friday, within hours of Governor John Engler's signing of the reform legislation. By the following Wednesday, members of the defunct board had vacated their offices and turned in their keys to the mayor. While the new hand-picked board has not yet adopted any policies, its composition confirms that Archer, Engler and the state legislature are moving to tailor the public school system to the needs of big business. The seven-member board includes William Beckham, the president of the business-oriented New Detroit and an adviser to former US President Jimmy Carter; Frank Fountain, vice-president of DaimlerChrysler; Pam Aguirre, CEO of Mexican Industries of Michigan, one of the largest minority-owned auto parts manufacturers; Detroit Deputy Mayor Freeman Hendrix; Dr. Glenda Price, president of Marygrove College; and Marvis Coffield, director of a non-profit social service agency called Operation Get Down who also owns a small business.

Passing the buck Court should make a ruling on voucher system Money for public schools can continue to be diverted towards private schools. That is what the Supreme Court decided on Monday when it resolved, eight to one, not to hear a challenge to Wisconsin's school voucher program that provides low-income families with credit of up to $5,000 per child toward tuition for private schools. While the decision does not set any national precedent, it still gives credence to a disturbing national trend. On their face, voucher programs sound like an excellent opportunity for families whose public schools have failed them. But the reality is that vouchers have yet to produce any benefit that outweighs the harms of taking money away from public schools whose resources are already meager enough. Independent annual evaluations of the voucher program in Milwaukee have shown that there is no significant increase in learning for students who received vouchers compared to their counterparts in public schools. Private schools are not inherently better than public ones - last year, two private schools in Milwaukee that had students who utilized vouchers shut down in the middle of the school year. Private schools can often be elitist and have the ability to accept or deny students as they please. Statistics have shown that on average, private schools with religious affiliations typically accept only one out of every three applicants. Students who lack the grades, test scores or intellectual ability to perform well at a private school - those who need special resources the most - will remain essentially abandoned in a financially crippled school district. The purpose of public education is to give every American child an adequate scholastic background, not only the smartest or most well-behaved students.

Voters to decide availability of school vouchers By Chrissy Hatcher Daily Staff Reporter Supporters of Proposal 1 claim vouchers are the way to turn around failing public school systems in Michigan. They've spent nearly $13 million trying to convince Michigan voters of that. Opponents have spent more than $6 million, making the fight the costliest political battle in state history. The proposal would lift a 1970 state constitutional ban on using public tax money for private and parochial schools. Students living in school districts with less than a two-thirds graduation rate would be able to use a voucher if admitted to a nonpublic school. Public school districts would also be able to approve vouchers through a public vote or by school board action. Nonpublic schools that admit students using vouchers would receive half of the average state per-pupil public school funding - about $3,300. Other sources of money, including credits, tax benefits, subsidies, grants and loans of public property, could also be used to pay for students attending nonpublic schools. Kids First! Yes!, the group campaigning for Proposal 1, says vouchers can improve lagging school districts across the state.
