Vote Yes on this bill if you want families to be able to apply to almost any public school in Michigan, with year-round applications, clearer seat postings, fewer residency barriers, and no tuition for nonresident students.

Organizations that support this bill may include school choice advocacy groups, parent organizations seeking more school options, charter school supporters, and groups that favor statewide open enrollment.

Vote No on this bill if you want local districts to keep more control over enrollment, protect neighborhood schools from losing students and funding, and avoid possible crowding, longer travel burdens, and added state oversight.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include local school boards associations, teachers unions, rural and small-district advocates, and groups worried that open enrollment could drain students and funding from neighborhood schools.
