What a great way to start Thanksgiving. Congratulations to the campuses purchased by ECMC. I am teaching from a Michigan close out campus that was phenomenal with students and community. I would invite ECMC to consider keeping us open. The Kalamazoo Promise provides college scholarships to grads of Kalamazoo Public Schools (KPS). Anonymous donors promise to pay up to 100% of college tuition for grads to attend public college anywhere in the state. Scholarships start at 65% of tuition for students enrolled in KPS in 9th grade and stay until graduation. This increases dependant on when you started in the school system. Kalamazoo promise is unusual among scholarship programs in its universality and generosity. I am grateful this Thanksgiving for the 14 years I have had here and would love to continue to develop students futures with excellence. Good luck on upcoming endeavors - there are thousands of students that will change their family tree because of you. I do not flavor this post with any negativity and will not be entertained by less than stellar feedback. My intention is to reach ECMC to spotlight the opportunities here in Michigan. I ask for your consideration for the students, the community, and the dedicated employees that I call family. Namaste

OP, your peeps are lucky to have you. Run quickly in another direction until the dust settles and more information is publicly available.
Hey 600. With a passion like that I would encourage you to take your "fight" directly to ECMC. Start at the top with Dave Hawn their CEO. Call his office. It may take a few dozens of calls, but with your passion it will keep you going. Keep at it and don't give up.
