School Privatization Increases Again

More Michigan public school districts contracted out in 2009 for at least one of the three main support services — food, custodial or transportation — according to the Mackinac Center for Public Policy's annual privatization survey. Some 246 of the state's 551 districts, or 44.6 percent, contract with private companies for one or more of those support services, up from 42.4 percent a year ago.
