EXPLORE Call to Action
By Jim Ballard, MASSP Executive Director

MASSP members clearly support an early warning system.
It is necessary for high schools to know that students are prepared to tackle high school curriculum when they walk through the doors. Or, if a student isn’t ready, where is he/she in need of intervention? And in what classes should he/she be placed for maximum benefit? Parents and children deserve information that shows whether or not a child’s dreams and aspirations match his/her skill level. Today, 60% of our students have this information when they arrive on the doorstep of high school. However, every Michigan student deserves this data.
