New research is clear: special education works when students get the supports they need.

📈Gains are immediate & sustained.

But in Michigan, outcomes still lag.

➡️The issue isn’t the IDEA ��� it’s the system.

[MiPAAC @MI_PAAC]

Michigan is at a crossroads. The FY27 budget signals progress—but intent isn’t enough.

✔ Implement the #MIBlueprint
✔ Fund based on student need
✔ Invest in sustainable, equitable systems

Without real reform: funding gaps persist, shortages grow, outcomes lag.
