Dr. Richard J. Alberta, Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Brighton, offered the following invocation:
“Our Heavenly Father…You are the great God and there is none like You! In Your providence and out of Your storehouse of mercy, You have ordained governments among men and women. We rejoice in Your desire that we live as responsible citizens knowing that our work will be judged and that You desire peace in our midst. Hence, our plea this morning is that You both approve the efforts of this House of Representatives and that on this day You will give them an abundance of wisdom and skill for their work.
Cause them to be thoughtful and righteous in all that they do. Please remember them and their families and allow them the great certainty that when they serve this our state and its citizens that they are also serving You. With great humility I commit them to You for Your every blessing. And I do so in the name of the Risen Christ Jesus. Amen.”

______
Rep. Pagan, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Education is by far one of the most important issues of our time and as public servants I am confident that every one of my colleagues believes that all children should receive a quality education that prepares them not only for professional success, but for health and happiness in society. I earned my undergraduate degree in secondary education, I worked in the US Senate on education policy, and I fought to make higher education more affordable to students at Wayne State University before becoming elected state representative. My community, as I’m sure many of our districts across Michigan, ask us leaders to make our education system the very best it can be and to work hard every day in making Michigan a top 10 education state in the country.
The urgency of improving literacy – including reading, writing, speaking and listening – to our children is clear. The most recent The National Assessment of Educational Progress data on 4th grade reading ranks Michigan 38th in the country. This is completely unacceptable. I believe some components of this bill, HB 4822, will help some students improve their literacy proficiency, and assist some schools in improving their literacy instruction.
However, like many of my colleagues, I have serious concerns with the mandatory retention piece of this legislation. My main concern is that research-based data has shown time and time again that retaining a student is not an effective strategy to improve student achievement. In fact, research suggests that retention does NOT boost student achievement, and that retained students are more likely to drop out of school.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students who drop out are FIVE TIMES more likely to have been retained than those who graduate. This will be our children’s future because of this bill.
Today, I introduced a series of amendments that aimed to give schools and parents more flexibility than a ‘one‑size‑fits‑all’ retention policy and ensure the provisions in this bill are tied to adequate funding. Unfortunately, these amendments, and others that would have improved this bill, were defeated. I voted no on HB 4822 because I believe parents, teachers, administrators, and state officials should be deeply involved for increasing the literacy of Michigan’s students, and third graders should be supported in their learning, not punished.”
Rep. Greimel, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Any law is only as good as the ability to enforce it. Unfortunately, a recent Michigan Supreme Court decision has made clear that House Bill 4822, as written, is not enforceable. On September 23, 2015, after HB 4822 was introduced, the Michigan Supreme Court denied leave to appeal the Michigan Court of Appeals’ decision in SS Next Friend, et al v State of Michigan, et al. The effect of the Supreme Court’s decision is that no parent, student, or other citizen can bring a lawsuit to enforce the state’s obligation to provide early intervention to help struggling students read unless a statute specifically provides that such a private cause of action may be brought. We pushed to include such a private cause of action in HB 4822. Unfortunately, the majority party refused to allow a vote on such an amendment. Without such a private right of action in HB 4822, it is unenforceable. I cannot in good conscience support the bill when it provides only an illusion of ensuring that kids receive the support they need to learn to read.”
Rep. Hooker, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I fully agree that this bill provides very good interventions that may help students reach proficiency it has deficiencies. One very great concern is that parents who know their child best have no say in retention of their child. Another concern is young people have a wide variety of maturation rates. This bill doesn’t address undiagnosed Dyslexia, Fetal Alcohol effect or a large number of other things that could affect reading proficiency. I asked the sponsor to allow parents to ultimately decide for their child and have the legislature sunset the bill to force the legislature to restudy progress of this act in 7 years. It was refused. As a teacher for 37 years, I know the problems with a child not reading and wanted to support this bill but couldn’t with parents taken out of the decision making process.”
Rep. Plawecki, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted in opposition to this bill because it mandated 3rd grade retention, gives parents no voice in the decision on their child’s educational future, and does not guarantee funding past 2 years. This bill may be particularly harmful to schools that have Deficit Elimination Plans if full funding does not occur. Strong literacy skills are vitally important to our children but this bill allows the legislature to take the decisions out of the hands of those who know and teach our children.”
Rep. McBroom, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Firstly, I want to be clear that I do not feel that retention is in and of itself a bad or harmful tool in the education process. Retention has gotten a bad rap in recent history as we begin to worry more about a student’s feelings than their actual success. There are many very successful students and adults who surprise their peers and colleagues when informing them they were held back in elementary school. So the use of retention is not my reason for voting against this legislation. I do have some concerns that retention becomes the default, catch-all for students that this very prescriptive bill does not adequately help but that is tolerable and a relatively minor concern.
My opposition has been focused, since this bill originated last term, on the imposition of this highly detailed, legislatively over-prescriptive program on schools that not only already have a program, but are implementing one successfully. Why are we trying to fix schools that are not broken? Clearly there are schools with terrible problems and are perpetuating cycles of failure. But it is also clear that there are other schools that do not need another state program to jump through while scrapping their own success. I have offered several simple ideas of ways the state program could be triggered in schools when there is evidence of need. However, these ideas have not been acceptable. Unfortunately, they have also not been substantively or philosophically refuted or shown to be inadequate.
Therefore, I am pleased to see this moving forward for the thousands of students and hundreds of schools that are in desperate situations. I remain disappointed that we have rolled the good in with the bad at the expense of what they already have taken care of locally.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.”
Rep. Hovey-Wright, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
This bill has many laudable aspects related to remedial efforts to help students to overcome reading deficiencies, I opposed HB4822 for several reasons.
1. It is inadequately funded.
2. It does not include parents in an Individual Reading Improvement Plan or give them a say in what happens to their son or daughters.
The bill needs more work.”
Rep. LaVoy, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
This is yet another governmental education mandate. I was advocating for parental participation and agreement in the process. While it is about the children, parents need to be involved in this process. Their awareness and approval would be necessary for me to support this legislation. Setting standards for our schools, our teachers and our children is the right thing to do, but those standards should be decided locally without mandates from Lansing. We need to get state government out of the classroom, and allow decisions to be made where they belong, with the parents and the local schools.”
Rep. Chirkun, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against House Bill 4822 today because I felt that the bill ultimately fails to fix the systemic challenges that students and educators face to address the problem. While there are some good aspects of the bill, the provision of mandatory retention punishes struggling students who are receiving reading support but have not been provided with enough time for this extra support to take effect. Without proper time to nurture growth and provisions to increase parental engagement at home, the same systemic barriers outside the classroom will prevent students from growing as readers. I strongly believe parents must fundamentally have a voice in their children’s education and in its current form, the bill fails to provide that. I stand committed to working with my legislative colleagues on a solution that equips 3rd grade students with the proper tools and resources necessary to read at grade level while managing to avoid retention if further work is required. Other states have implemented programs that integrate more traditional educational interventions with proven community and parental support with much success. Without addressing the reasons of why kids are having difficulty reading in the first place, and having a better understanding of non-educational environmental factors that could possibly impact reading achievement, we will continue to ask Michigan’s schools to pour money into programs that will not reduce the number of struggling readers in the future. House Bill 4822 fails to provide parental consent and local control and fails to provide enough resources to school districts to achieve the outcome the bill is seeking to create. Until these fundamental issue are addressed first, I cannot support this bill in its current form.”

Rep. Hooker, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I believe in proper teacher evaluation and believe that a good principal can get rid of a bad teacher. I think a good evaluation tool is important as well. This bill places too much emphasis on standardized tests in a teacher’s evaluation. First, there is no valid tool today to fairly evaluate a teacher’s ability to help students progress. The state’s tests are in flux and poorly evaluate the yearly progress a student makes. Students know that these tests will not be figured into their personal grades and have little incentive to perform well. I am concerned that good teachers will be fearful to go into tough schools, where they are needed most, because test scores determine 40% of their evaluation. I attempted to reduce that test rate to 25% or 30% but the chair refused. I believe local administrators will know if their teachers are effective if those administrators do their job properly.”
