Catholic and nonpublic schools educate more than 100,000 Michigan children and do so by offering high-quality academic opportunities that effectively prepare children for post-secondary education or the workforce. Not only that, but Catholic and nonpublic schools consistently form virtuous citizens and the leaders that our state needs.

Regardless of the type of school, all students benefit from essential support services that include safe and secure buildings, access to healthy meals and mental health supports, and learning from quality teachers.

Michigan lawmakers should support all students in all schools - including Catholic and nonpublic - when it comes to funding these universal support services.
