Before the real work begins in hammering out the details, early childhood supporters from the tip of Copper Country in the Upper Peninsula to Wayne County in Southeast Michigan paused to commend Governor Rick Snyder’s action (on Wednesday) creating a Michigan Office of Great Start by Executive Order. The action:
- Places the new Office within the Michigan Department of Education;
- Provides the Superintendent of Public Instruction “all administrative powers, duties, functions and responsibilities” over the new Office;
- Transfers to the new Office all responsibilities of the Office of Child Development and Care within the Department of Human Services;
- Transfers to the new Office all responsibilities of the Head Start Collaboration Office within the Department of Human Services;
- and transfers to the new Office all responsibilities of the Office of Early Childhood Education and Family Services within the Michigan Department of Education
