As Michigan House members reconvene following their Spring recess, House Speaker Matt Hall (R-Richland Township) addressed reporters regarding the legislative agenda for the upcoming session. Hall emphasized the Republican commitment to enhancing educational outcomes across the state, outlining a series of proposed reforms aimed at improving the quality of education for all Michigan students.

In addition to education, Hall underscored the ongoing efforts to secure funding for the state’s road infrastructure.
