ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  \nIn 2015, The Education Trust-Midwest launched the Michigan Achieves! campaign to make Michigan a Top 10 education state by 2030. Each year, we report on Michigan’s progress toward that goal based on student outcome performance metrics and opportunity to learn metrics. These metrics shed light on the health of education in our state – and the extent to which Michigan is succeeding at creating conditions that support teaching and learning in Michigan public schools. Since then, a growing number of partners around the state have come together to advance the best practices and strategies from leading education states in order to close achievement gaps and ensure every Michigan student is learning – and being taught – at high [levels.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nBy Jen DeNeal, Director of Policy and Research, and Emily Hatch, Senior Data and Policy Analyst  \nIn the landmark 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education, the United States Supreme Court declared that separate educational facilities for students of different races were inherently unequal.1 The promise of Brown was supposed to be a new era of integration in American public schools.  \nSeventy years after the Brown decision, however, racial segregation among Michigan school districts remains a persistent and troubling problem.  \nWhile Brown v. Board of Education specifically sought to address disparities in educational facilities and resources based on race, today we know that segregation occurs not only based on race, but also on socioeconomic status and frequently at the intersection of both factors. In fact, Michigan has had one of the highest rates of concentrated poverty in the country.2  \nYet the deep impact of poverty is unevenly felt across our state. Children of color are far more likely to learn in school districts with greater concentrations of poverty according to a new analysis by The Education Trust-Midwest.  \nConsider that, this year nearly half of all the students of color and two-thirds of all Black students in Michigan attend public school in districts with high concentrations of poverty where 73% or more of the students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, compared to only 13% of Michigan’s white students learning in those same school districts.  \nThe consequences of learning in districts with high concentrations of poverty are dire, as this report will show. Schools with high concentrations of students from low-income backgrounds face additional challenges including lower resources, less experienced teachers,3 more teacher turnover, and greater risks to students from environmental hazards and safety concerns.4  \nSadly, Michigan has long under-invested in our students,5 worsening longstanding inequities in schools.  \nIndeed, between 1995 and 2015, our overall investment in education declined relative to other states, making  \nMichigan the worst state in the country for education revenue growth for two decades.6  \nAdditionally, Michigan’s level of investment in public education, which declined amid the recession of 2008, never recovered and, in fact, has greatly decreased since 2006.7  \nThat lack of investment has compounded over time. Consider that if Michigan had returned to its 2006 school funding levels by 2016, our state would have invested 20 percent more – or $22 billion dollars more – on K-12 public education between 2016 and 2021.8  \nWhile state leaders have made great strides over ","cbCaifHSqAmWPYZy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifHSqAmWPYZy","pdf",19024035,52,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Compounding Problems: Stagnant Academic Outcomes for Michigan Students Grow Worse\n# Michigan’s Funding Gaps\n# Money Matters in Education, Especially for Students Who Are Underserved\n# A New Era of Opportunity\n# Conclusion\n# Michigan Achieves!
