Michigan Education Ass'n v. Superintendent of Public Instruction

Plaintiff appeals as of right the trial court’s order granting summary disposition to defendants. This case involves a challenge to the authority of Bay Mills Community College (BMCC) to authorize “public school academies” also referred to as “charter schools.” Because we cannot conclude that plaintiff has standing to challenge the expenditure of state funds under the facts before us, we do not reach the substantive issue whether the public school academies BMCC has chartered are considered public schools and are eligible for public funding. We dismiss this appeal for lack of standing.
