Empowering Students and Educators to Reach Their Fullest Potential

As our State Representative, Noah is working tirelessly to:

• Address Michigan’s crisis in teacher, paraprofessional, and school support staff recruitment and retention by increasing benchmark salaries, offering competitive benefits packages, and implementing retention bonuses for educators (FY 2024 School Aid Budget)
• Work towards developing universal a pre-kindergarten program to ensure all young children have access to enrichment in the most critical early years of development
• Address the increasing unaffordability of higher education for young people by returning to pre-2008 levels of public university funding in the state budget and expanding financial aid
• Strengthen Michigan’s high school financial literacy curricular requirement to include basic functions of contemporary financial life, including navigating insurance markets, credit, investment practices, retirement accounts, home ownership, taxes, and more
• Ensure K-12 student count day will never again coincide with religious holidays, including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Eid (HB 4648)
• Save the historic, 104 year-old Roosevelt Elementary School building in Keego Harbor from unnecessary demolition by the West Bloomfield School District (HB 5025)
• Invest in continuing education programs for adults and seniors and incentivize employers to defray costs for continuing education as a benefit for employees
• Increase mentorship opportunities for young adults in our communities by supporting partnerships between school districts and local businesses, non-profit organizations, and other institutions
• Ensure charter schools are held accountable to the same measures of performance and transparency as public schools (HBs 5231, 5232, 5233, 5234, and 5269)
