This article recaps the education funding reform in Michigan over Engler's term. This seems to have been a remarkable success, and I hope that more states find ways to increase funding to their poorest schools.

(Unfortunately, from what I gather has happened in Oregon, when other states repeat this the person running it doesn't always actually care about education and the result is just lowering the average instead of bringing the bottom end up. However, the numbers in this article make it look like Michigan did a pretty good job.)
