Even computers on furlough-Dept. of Ed Shuts Down Web Site. Common Core Hearing Tomorrow

Dept. of Ed Shuts Down Web Site. Common Core Hearing Tomorrow:
"The Michigan Department of Education's website is expected to go dark today because the Legislature has failed to act on allowing the department to spend money to implement the Common Core State Standards, which are integrated throughout the site.

In a memo that went out to school administrators statewide Monday, MDE officials said the site -www.michigan.gov/mde - has to be taken down....

...."If we cannot expend funds on any information, or support and assistance to local schools, then we have to scrub our entire website and restore pages as they are deemed fit," State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said in the Monday memo."
