A Note From Dick DeVos
Welcome! My life’s work in business, public policy, civic engagement, and education have been rewarding endeavors. That work continues today. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help mentor businesses, lead public policy initiatives, and support the rapid growth of West Michigan. My hope is that you are inspired and encouraged to join in creating positive change and leaving a lasting impact on West Michigan and beyond.

"It is time for a complete reset. If we want our nation to long endure, we must make a meaningful change to put students first. Our economic security, national security, innovation edge and way of life hang in the balance. American cannot continue to lead the world if its rising generation can’t even read, let alone excel in math and science." ... See MoreSee Less
BETSY DEVOS: Education Department has failed. Time to let parents and states take the lead

Last week, the Nation’s Report Card – the only nationwide measure of how America’s government-run schools are performing – came home, and the results are devastating.19 CommentsComment on Facebook
Betsy DeVos was an agent of change. Before you comment read her backstory. She was the leader in champing Charter Schools. Her devotion to education is clear. Take a page from her book.
While this sounds worthwhile at a higher level, for Idaho, I don’t see how this will help us due to the extent of rural school systems. Am I missing something? Resources are already spread thin in rural areas.
I think it’s based also in the home m. My son goes to a public school, he is doing excellent in school he had Speach therapy and today he graduated out of it. He’s doing excellent in math above his grade level and above his great level reading. His teachers are amazing and work diligently with him but I as her mother also work with him at school it’s my responsibility also that he doesn’t forget what he learns. Let’s not put all the blame on the school system.
Right Absolutely right
I love u .
Wish she would have stayed with Trump when there was things she didn’t agree with! I’ve stayed with you!!! Lots of changes Rich would have never done!
I agree with you, I hope someday you will remember our conversation, "Wally Butrick" i hope, as is even locally we are in need of a reset. It is hard to keep up with everything but based on what I have seen a large portion of money that you have provide does not go to the community. Fact is unfurtunetly the community does not see you bring it up in person, imagine if our community would no directly from you on what your help is for. Too many people struggling locally and I know based on all the help you give it should not be the case. Our students need that honest and non bias leadership here in Grand Rapids Michigan. I promised you I would never ask for money but for advice on how to help those left behind here in Grand Rapids Michigan.

Home schooling parents should have the option to gain a tax break for their children's education expenses.
Have to insure the MEA’s of the states don’t suck it up like they did under proposal A.
Agree 💯
Inundar el pais de capitalismo solidario , cuya principal herramienta es la educación para la vida!
Giustissimo ❣️❤️ Pensiero come anche fuori dagli USA. In Europa le nuove generazioni non leggono ed è impensabile che saranno i governanti di domani.
It is of great concern that anyone here in Grand Rapids or Michigan needs to hear this. $ is a huge issue because families don't have time to invest in children. Amplify G R understand yhod
Agree 💯
Youth are the American Treasure that even surpases value of MONEY...
Sorry. For-profit education is absolutely not the answer. Look at what's it's done to our health/insurance industry. Do we really want our children exposed to corporate greed that cuts corners and leaves behind anyone that requires a little extra help to save a few dollars? No thanks.
