Partnering for Change

June 1, 2026 ~ We are builders here in Michigan. Yes, autos. Yes, new tech start-ups. Yes, the future of mobility. Yes, award-winning waterfronts; Yes, music and art that have shaped American culture. But more quietly, maybe more importantly, in this purple state of Michigan, we build bridges between each other, across difference, toward something new. At The Skillman Foundation, our mission is to nurture the brilliance of youth. We do it by listening to them and the people closest to them, helping them redesign public education so it propels every student toward a brilliant future. That’s the what. Then there’s the how. By rooting in community and then linking arms with as many people from as many sectors, cities, and walks of life to help make this happen. On this episode of Our State of Education, hear from Michiganders who are improving the lives of children in collaborative, innovative ways.

New State Superintendent's Vision for Michigan’s Schools

April 13, 2026 ~ Michigan’s public education system is entering an important new chapter, shaped by statewide decisions that affect classrooms, communities, and students across the state. At The Skillman Foundation, we believe a strong public education system depends on a clear vision, shared responsibility and leadership that keeps students at the center. The choices made at the state level play a critical role in how schools serve young people and families. In this episode of Our State of Education, we are joined by Michigan’s new State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Glenn Maleyko, to explore his vision for Michigan’s education system, the role of the State Superintendent, and the priorities guiding this moment. We will discuss where Michigan is headed and what it will take to build a system that helps every student thrive.
