Michigan voters have elected a new governor, Jocelyn Benson, who promises to transform education and guarantee that when students graduate from the public school system, they are college and career ready. The Associated Press called the race between Benson and U.S. Rep. John James at 1:45 a.m. The results show Benson winning with 55% of the vote. Benson, the daughter of special education teachers, has a plan for addressing the state’s current literacy crisis by taking steps similar to what the state already has been doing: Investing in curriculum and training for teachers based on the science of reading , a longstanding body of research about how children learn to read. Her education plan says she would also “enable statewide tracking of literacy rates and improvements.” Benson would also ensure first-year teachers receive starting salaries of $60,000 a year minimum. Currently, the average in Michigan is around $41,000 annually. What she calls her “Michigan Education Guarantee,” which she touted as she campaigned, would be

Gaylord St. Mary meets unbeaten Lake Linden-Hubbell | Prediction

GAYLORD — For about four weeks, Gaylord St. Mary football has been playing with a postseason mindset, even though the 8-player Division 2 playoffs officially started on Friday, Oct. 30. Now, heading into the regional finals this weekend, the Snowbirds stand just three wins away from the school's first state title. With the gauntlet they will have to go through to reach that height, however, they may as well change that postseason mindset into a state championship mindset for each of the final three games. GSM (10-0) travels to the Upper Peninsula on Saturday, Nov. 7, to take on Lake Linden-Hubbell (10-0), another team that has had state title aspirations all season long. While this game will have major implications for who makes it to the Superior Dome on Nov. 17, it would also be just the beginning of the road for whichever team is victorious with potential matchups with Portland St. Patrick (10-0) and Mendon (10-0) looming in the final two rounds. It's win or go home, and every game from here on out is going to be a heavyweight fight. Can the Snowbirds finish things off in the final rounds? VOTE Vote for the Gaylord Herald Times Athlete
