POLL OVERVIEW<br />

Michigan State Superintendent Michael Flanagan has recommended creating countywide school systems. <br />

Flanagan has proposed the consolidation of administrative services for the state's school districts into the 57 intermediate school districts.<br />

The proposal suggests that the state</span><span>'</span><span>s 57 intermediate school districts be given the responsibility of providing transportation, food service, accounting and other administrative services to over 500 local school districts in Michigan.<br />
