LANSING - The State Board of Education on Tuesday extended by one year the contract of state Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan, through May 1, 2013, while acknowledging the fine work he and the staff of the Michigan Department of Education are doing to lead reforms in Michigan's education system.
"There is consensus among the Board that Mike is doing an excellent job," said State Board Vice President John C. Austin.
Upon Flanagan's request, the State Board also agreed to allow him to take any adjustments to his compensation that reflects those taken by other state employees.
"We would like to give him a raise," Austin said, "but appreciate Mike's offer and understanding of the budget issues Michigan has. We appreciate his leadership."
