'Skunk works' takes another turn in the road

The story about the controversial statewide "skunk works" project involving the creation of lower cost schools (posted yesterday here on "Talking Taylor Schools") has taken a new turn.

The secretive education panel will be taken over by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan (above), according to reports. Gov. Rick Snyder agreed to Flanagan's request that the group start over in an attempt to be as transparent as possible on the issues that it is dealing with.

The group is discussing ways to recreate Michigan's schools including lowering costs and adding technology.
