This is simply heart breaking news. Kathy was a true champion for higher education and - more than anything- for people and institutions working to improve the lives of Michiganders. I learned a tremendous amount from her. May her memory be a blessing.

Very sad news today: Kathy Wilbur, a fixture in the Capitol community spanning the past 5 decades, died this morning. She was 70 and had sudden recurrence of cancer. A friend and mentor to many during her work in the legislative and executive branches and 20+ years in higher ed.

@ldgonzales1 You and me both, Leslie!!

Partnership schools face substantial human capital challenges: high turnover, difficulty with recruitment, and relying on subs. These challenges are consequential because they weaken instructional quality, disrupt instructional improvement, and impact teacher working conditions.
