Anybody see the story on ABC about Kalamazoo, Mich? |
|
If you missed it you might want to read about it on their web page. In sum, a group of philanthopist have pooled their money into a fund to provide free college tuition for all public school children to any Mich. STATE college. I need to read more about this but I thought I would ask DU since some Kalamazoo residents might be posting here.
If this is true, and I surely hope it is, is this fund just for children attending PUBLIC school or does it apply to all school-age children even in faith-based or other private schools?
What a group of loyal citizens!

People moving in require goods and services which translates into jobs.
