The Senate bill 1074 was introduced in the month of January. It has stated that school employees must write a letters to Gov. Jennifer Granholm in order to know the answer to their questions regarding how the measurement would affect their paychecks. That is all about the bill which would require the outsourcing of all non-instructional support services in public school districts for contracts of $20,000 or more. According to the bill text, schools may decided to contract with any person or organisation in order to provide these services, but there is a limitation, one must not deal with a contract to a group of its employees or a representative of a group of its employees to provide one or more of these services to avoid the contract to turn into a contractual basis rather than an employment basis. They must follow this in order for them to avoid those complications. The bill has been pursuing its way going through the legislative committees. According to the records, there are almost 551 school districts in Michigan and 250 of them have already contracted with private companies for at least one of the non-instructional services and these services include the janitorial, food and transportation services.
