State superintendent Michael Rice will retire in October, introduced the Michigan Division of Schooling on Friday.

Rice, 62, had led the division since 2019. He’s the previous chief inspector of Kalamazoo Public Faculties.

“It was an honor to serve Michigan’s 1.4 million public college kids previously six college years,” Rice stated in a press release.

“Het was een voorrecht om samen te werken met de State Board of Schooling en de getalenteerde leraren, studenten, ouders, beheerders, ondersteunend personeel, gouverneur Whitmer, staatswetgevers, onderwijsorganisaties, bredere gemeenschap en het toegewijde personeel van het Michigan Division of Schooling (MDE), klein in aantal maar machtig in de strijd, om onderwijs voor onze kinderen te verbeteren.”
