“It’s an honor to be entrusted with this important committee that plays an essential role in building the futures of Michigan’s children,” DeBoer said. “I am passionate about ensuring every child in our state has an equal opportunity for success and every parent is at the forefront of their kids’ education.”

“The police are among our greatest allies when it comes to school safety,” DeBoer said. “Ensuring they are helping lead the charge when it comes to improving the safety of our schools is a no-brainer. Their invaluable involvement will make schools a much safer place for students, teachers and staff.”
