MASA has joined forces with four other school management associations—MASSP, MASB, MAISA, and MSBO—in opposing Proposals 2 and 5. On September 25, the group released a joint statement announcing their opposition and has just launched a web page where members of all five associations can access information about the initiatives.
A new web page at http://www.stop2and5.com/ assists Michigan's education leaders in calling on voters to stand with us in opposing Proposals 2 and 5. School boards, principals, administrators and school business officials are united in supporting good teachers, good teaching practices and improved outcomes for students.
Our associations believe in the right of employees to collectively bargain and we would not support unwarranted tax increases. Our position is not a case of business versus education or teachers versus administrators. These proposals are an outright attempt by two unhappy groups to bypass Michigan's legislative process and rather inappropriately write statute in our constitution. Simply stated, in order to protect our students, our taxpayers, and our constitution we must stand together to STOP PROPOSALS 2 AND 5.This website is a resource for education leaders across Michigan and an information portal for the general public.

The new www.stop2and5.com website has talking points, background info, and other resources for educators who may face questions in their community about the proposals. MASSP has also prepared a one-page front-and-back informational handout for each of the initiatives aimed specifically at the issues most important to principals. You can access those documents here:
Each proposal threatens severe negative consequences, so we urge members to speak out against these initiatives in their communities.
