Northern Michigan found a way to cut school absenteeism. Lansing may defund it
Northern Michigan's School Success Partnership program has reduced school absenteeism and improved grades by addressing barriers for at-risk students, but faces potential defunding as its state allocation is excluded from proposed 2026-27 budgets. The program, operated by the Northeast Michigan Community Service Agency, provides support like transportation, basic needs, and family engagement across 12 counties.
