BREAKING NEWS: 

CRISIS FACING SCHOOL EMPLOYEES 

The state Legislature is considering several short-sighted 

proposals between press time and Dec. 31 that could 

seriously damage school employees’ ability to collectively 

bargain over wages, benefits, working conditions and 

education standards. 

The most serious threat between now and the end of 

the year is the passage of so-called “right-to-work” 

legislation, which would attack MEA’s ability to represent 

teachers and support staff.

Letter to members 

There's no way to sugar-coat the recent loss on 

Proposal 2 enough to make it easy to swallow. 

The failure to pass Proposal 2 is a bitter disappointment 

felt by all of us, as well as the other members 

of the Protect Working Families coalition. Suffice it 

to say, the coalition simply was not able to overcome 

being outspent by corporate special interests that did 

everything they could to convince voters that Proposal 

2 was about everything but collective bargaining. 

That said, we have never seen MEA members so engaged 

and united. And we’ve never been more proud 

of our association than we have been these past few 

months. Thousands upon thousands of members volunteered 

throughout the campaign, and that organizing 

will not be in vain—so long as we keep engaged in 

the fight for our schools and our rights. 

The battle to protect collective bargaining is not 

over—it’s never over. 

Research released just after the election shows 

that 70 percent of voters support collective bargaining, 

including 55 percent of those who voted against 

Proposal 2. For them, their vote was not a condemnation 

of collective bargaining, but an unwillingness to 

amend the Constitution—something that in the end 

took down all five proposed constitutional amendments 

on Nov. 6. 

Proposal 2’s defeat means collective bargaining is 

not protected in the Constitution, but it does not mean 

that collective bargaining is gone. Within the laws 

and restrictions placed on us by the Legislature, we 

will continue to collectively bargain with local school 

boards to make decisions in the best interests of students, 

employees and communities. Resourceful and 

creative members, leaders and staff will continue to 

find ways at the bargaining table to protect students, 

provide the necessary resources so students are successful 

and preserve public education. 

We also will continue the fight to prevent lawmakers 

from enacting further restraints on our collective 

bargaining rights. And in that vein, we had electoral 

successes that are truly worth celebrating: 

The re-election of President Barack Obama and Sen. 

Debbie Stabenow gives us friends in Washington, 

D.C., to continue the fight there. Bridget Mary 

McCormack’s election to the state Supreme Court 

gives us a justice who believes in protecting our families’ 

interests ahead of those of corporate CEOs. 

The repeal of the Emergency Manager law (Proposal 

1) and the defeat of the tax supermajority measure 

(Proposal 5) shows that voters have no appetite for the 

policies of the extreme right. MEA was a key player 

in both those fights, with a huge number of members 

collecting signatures to put the EM law on the ballot 

and resources from both MEA and NEA that went into 

the “No on 5” effort. 

“Thousands upon thousands of 

members volunteered throughout 

the campaign, and that organizing 

will not be in vain — so long as we 

keep engaged in the fight for our 

schools and our rights.” 

Despite freshly-gerrymandered district lines designed 

to increase Republicans’ stranglehold on the 

Legislature, Democrats picked up six seats in the state 

House. We have several more friends in the House, 

with the election of fellow MEA members Collene 

Lamonte, Theresa Abed and Terry Brown. Joining 

them are MEA-recommended candidates Henry 

Yanez, Gretchen Driskell, Tom Cochran, Winnie Brinks 

and Scott Dianda, all of whom won closely-contested 

races. With their victories, the makeup of the House is 

now 51 Democrats and 59 Republicans. That means 

come Jan. 1, just four votes crossing over can change 

the outcome of a bill. 

On the State Board of Education, we elected two 

new friends and allies who understand the needs of 

education professionals: Michelle Fecteau and MEA 

member Lupe Ramos-Montigny. And we swept six 

out of six other recommended candidates for the 

boards of Michigan State University, the University of 

Michigan and Wayne State University. 

MEA members, leaders and staff put in a ton of 

focused and energized hard work. While Proposal 2’s 

failure is disappointing, teachers and support staff 

are stronger for the fight. That strength will come in 

handy over the course of 2013, because we will need 

to redouble our legislative efforts to proactively move a 

positive agenda for public education.

STOP POLITICIANS’ DANGEROUS LAME DUCK AGENDA: 

With the election behind us, the state Legislature has entered the “lame duck” phase of its session 

The worst among them is so-called “right-to-work” legislation, which if passed would rob school employees of 

their collective voice. 

Backers of right-to-work are making a power grab and trying to weaken the rights of school employees and other 

middle-class families. Anti-union politicians in the legislature have moved one anti-worker measure after another, 

doing nothing to help put Michigan back to work. We need our elected leaders to help create the kind of jobs that 

pay a fair wage and help give our kids the education they need to have a better life—not exploit teachers and support 

staff. 

Stay tuned to www.mea.org throughout December for updates on what’s happening in Lansing and how you can 

help. And go to www.mea.org/signup to subscribe to Capitol Comments, the MEA’s political e-newsletter, to learn 

more about how you can help join the fight against right-to-work and other dangerous attacks on school employees. 

2. 

SIGN UP FOR E-DUES: The Legislature passed Public Act 53 to end the payroll deduction of dues 

by school districts—a cynical move designed to weaken your union’s ability to advocate for your 

wages, benefits and working conditions. A temporary injunction has been ordered to stop the law, but 

MEA members should still make the switch to the E-Dues system to continue receiving the many benefits of 

MEA membership. MEA members can sign up for E-Dues at the Members Only section at www.mea.org—it’s 

quick, simple and secure. Please note that converting to E-Dues is done by entire local associations, not by 

individuals. While signing up for E-Dues online will save you time, your dues will continue to be deducted from 

your paycheck until your entire local is ready to convert.

Excerpts from the MEA Voice archives 

Michigan Education Journal 

Nov. 1, 1968 

How Can We Automate and 

Remain Free? 

By John H. Langer 

No one disputes that programmed instruction, 

the systems approach to education, 

and computer-assisted teaching have arrived 

on the education scene. 

At the same time, the miracles of the electronic 

age have produced an unwanted side 

effect—a dehumanization of the schools. 

Another nagging worry among educators is 

whether technology will replace the teacher. 

If it can, what kind of educational process 

will we have? Who will control it? Will it be as 

effective, have the same democratic goals, and 

produce individuals who can think independently 

and make intelligent decisions? […] 

The teacher who relates to children creates 

a personal relationship that motivates a child 

to become a good student. Machines do not 

motivate. 

A free society will utilize technology in gathering 

data. It will not remain free if it abrogates 

to machines the functions of making its 

decisions. It must never permit the subordination 

of human values to the demands of 

technology. 

Look ahead 

Cyber school expansion 

On the horizon 

Under pressure from for-profit corporations looking 

to monetize public education, Michigan policymakers 

are expected to continue pushing for more cyber 

schools as alternatives to traditional, brick-and-mortar 

public schools. 

Over the course of a decade, online “virtual” learning has 

grown from a novelty employed by a few school districts to 

a full-fledged movement. Across the country, state entities, 

school districts, home-schooling advocates and private 

corporations are partnering to offer virtual learning as an 

alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar schools. 

Virtual learning has become a big business, with companies 

making huge campaign contributions to politicians to 

get them to support the expansion of virtual schools. Earlier 

this year, Michigan lawmakers passed Public Act 129 of 

2012, which allowed the expansion of cyber schools. This 

takes resources that should be used to improve public 

schools are instead diverts them to cyber schools. 

There is no reliable evidence that cyber schools improve 

education, and they may actually be detrimental to building 

the critical social skills that our kids need to succeed 

in college and the workplace. Cyber schools have no reliable 

way to determine if a student at home is cheating on 

exams by simply “Googling” the answers. Moreover, there 

are many things that children learn in a social setting—like 

how to work as part of a team—that they cannot learn with 

just a laptop and an Internet connection. 

Online learning can be helpful in supplementing traditional 

education — blended learning is a great example. 

However, full-time cyber schools are not an adequate 

replacement for local brick-and-mortar schools, and they 

are not a replacement for well-trained teachers and support 

staff. 

Cyber schools have 

no reliable way 

to determine if a 

student at home 

is cheating on an 

exam.

Election efforts bring MEA 

members closer together 

The Nov. 6 election gave voters a 

clear choice: stand with working 

families or corporate special 

interests. At the end of the day, 

Michigan voters—for the most part— 

elected candidates who truly believe 

that working families, seniors and 

children should be put before CEO 

profits. 

But on top of their important votes 

for candidates, Michigan voters 

faced the most ballot initiatives in 

more than two decades—six in 

total, including five constitutional 

amendments. 

Well-financed corporate special 

interests backed the defeat of each 

of the three progressive constitutional 

amendments supported by the MEA, 

including Proposal 2, which would 

have made collective bargaining a 

basic right in Michigan. 

Teachers and school employees 

joined together with other union 

members across Michigan and 

fought tirelessly to pass Proposal 2. 

MEA members knocked on doors, 

canvassed neighborhoods, called 

people from sunrise to sundown, 

spoke at forums and made contacts 

with voters until polls closed on 

Election Day. 

Opponents, meanwhile, spent tens 

of millions of dollars spreading misinformation, 

confusion and downright 

lies. With their deep corporate pockets, 

they defeated Proposal 2. 

Without a question, the loss of 

Proposal 2 was gut-wrenching for 

union households across the state. 

After working so hard for so long, 

it can be difficult to take a step 

back from such a loss and find the 

positive. 

However, Proposal 2 has truly led 

to a stronger, more galvanized MEA 

that is eager to continue to fight for 

the priorities of Michigan’s working 

families. 

With the defeat of Proposal 2, corporate 

special interests may smell 

blood in the water and attempt to 

further weaken existing collective 

bargaining rights. CEOs risk overplaying 

their hand, as any efforts to 

undermine collective bargaining will 

be met with very stiff opposition from 

MEA members and others. 

New research released just days 

after the election provides encouraging 

news. According to a new poll, 

70 percent of Michigan voters continue 

to support the right of workers 

to organize and bargain collectively 

over wages, benefits, and working 

conditions. 

The poll, conducted by Lake 

Research Partners, showed the right 

of workers to organize and bargain 

collectively has broad bipartisan 

support, including 85 percent of 

Democrats, 77 percent of independents 

and even 48 percent of 

Republicans. 

What’s more, 55 percent of voters 

who voted no on Proposal 2 still support 

collective bargaining rights. 

The evidence leads to one conclusion: 

Voters rejected Proposal 2 not 

because they opposed collective bargaining, 

but because they opposed 

changing the state Constitution. This 

is a critical reminder that the people 

of Michigan support MEA members 

as they fight for fair wages, benefits 

and working conditions. 

“Although voters ultimately rejected

union members

Proposal 2 

supporters listen 

as a speaker 

addresses the 

public at a fall 

campaign event. 


Proposal 2, their vote was not a vote 

against collective bargaining,” said 

pollsters Celinda Lake and David 

Mermin of Lake Research Partners. 

“The most common reason for 

voting against Proposal 2 was that 

voters were convinced not to change 

the constitution,” Lake and Mermin 

said. “With the election behind us, 

voters overwhelmingly are ready for 

politicians in Lansing to get to work 

creating jobs and improving education, 

not changing rules about unions 

or collective bargaining.” 

Politicians would be ill-advised to 

ignore that point. 

Closing the gap in the House 

Despite the disappointing loss of 

Proposal 2, there were several important 

victories on election night. 

MEA members played a key role in 

the state House elections. Thanks to 

the support, resources and encouragement 

of public school employees, 

pro-education candidates won 

eight of 11 targeted House races. 

Democrats netted six House seats, 

reducing the Republican majority to 

only 59-51. 

This was no small feat, given 

that Republicans in the Michigan 

Legislature redrew heavily-gerrymandered 

districts that were supported 

by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and 

upheld by the Republican-controlled 

state Supreme Court. 

Despite Republican control of 

every lever of power in Michigan 

government, Democratic candidates 

picked up seats. That includes three 

MEA members who were elected to 

the House: Collene Lamonte from 

Muskegon County, Theresa Abed 

of Eaton County and Terry Brown of 

Huron County, who will return to the 

seat he held from 2007-2011. 

Lamonte, Abed and Brown replace 

Republican legislators who had 

consistently voted against the best 

interests of teachers and school 

employees. 

In Macomb County, MEArecommended 

candidate Henry 

Yanez defeated his Republican 

opponent in the race for an open 

seat. Over in Kent County, Winnie 

Brinks took out party-switching Roy 

Schmidt. Former Lansing Fire Chief 

Tom Cochran beat his Republican 

opponent to fill an open seat in 

southern Ingham County. Saline 

Mayor Gretchen Driskell disposed 

of school-cutter Mark Ouimet in 

Washtenaw County. Scott Dianda 

parlayed his MEA support into a victory 

over Matt Huuki in the Western 

Upper Peninsula. 

What do so many of the defeated 

Republican representatives have 

in common? Most of them voted to 

cut K-12 education by $1 billion to 

pay for a $1.8 billion tax break for 

the corporate special interests that 

funded their campaigns. They were 

held accountable. 

Because of the efforts of MEA 

members, in the upcoming legislative 

session, just four crossover votes can 

make the difference in whether a bill 

passes. This narrowed majority for 

Republicans in the House is critical 

to stopping bad legislation that would 

hurt teachers, school employees, 

Union members at 

the Sept. 3 Labor 

Day rally in Detroit.

students and working families. 

“A much narrower partisan margin 

will hopefully lead to moderate, 

pro-education Republicans having 

their voices heard more than they 

have been under the past two years’ 

extreme leadership,” MEA President 

Steve Cook said. “We look forward 

to working with any and all lawmakers—Republican 

and Democratic— 

who are willing to make our students 

this state’s number one priority.” 

Emergency Manager law 

repealed 

One of Gov. Rick Snyder’s first 

acts upon taking office in 2011 was 

the passage of Public Act 4, better 

known as the Emergency Manager 

law, which allowed state-appointed 

dictators to come into communities, 

throw out local democratically 

elected leaders and shred collective 

bargaining agreements. 

The MEA strongly opposed Snyder’s 

draconian law, and public employees 

worked to gather signatures to put a 

referendum on the ballot, resulting 

in Proposal 1. If approved, Proposal 

1 would have kept the law in place. 

Thanks to the hard-fought efforts of 

union members and citizen activists, 

Proposal 1 was defeated, 48-52. 

“The governor and the right-wing 

elements in the state legislature have 

been put on notice that they cannot 

just run roughshod over our democracy,” 

Stand Up for Democracy 

spokesman Greg Bowens told 

MLive.com. 

The MEA also strongly opposed 

Proposal 5, which was supported 

by radical Tea Party groups hoping 

to essentially end the state government’s 

ability to raise revenues for 

education and other essentials. 

Proposal 5 would have required a 

two-thirds vote of the Legislature to 

raise taxes, meaning just 13 state 

senators would have been able to 

block tax votes supported by the 

other 135 legislators. Thankfully, 

Proposal 5 lost by a 31-69 margin. 

“The repeal of the Emergency 

Manager law and the defeat of the 

tax supermajority measure shows that 

voters have no appetite for the policies 

of the extreme right,” Cook said. 

MEA-backed candidates win 

at state, national levels 

MEA-recommended candidates 

for the State Board of Education, 

the University of Michigan Board 

of Regents, the Michigan State 

University Board of Trustees and 

the Wayne State University Board 

of Governors all won their statewide 

contests on Election Day. 

MEA member Lupe Ramos- 

Montigny of Grand Rapids and 

Michelle Fecteau of Detroit beat 

two Republicans to form a 6-2 

Democratic majority on the State 

Board of Education. Ramos- 

Montigny and Fecteau understand 

what needs to be done to strengthen 

schools and support MEA members 

so they can do their jobs. 

Democratic candidates supported 

by the MEA also provided 6-2 majorities 

on the UM, MSU and Wayne 

State boards. This will help ensure 

that Michigan’s three largest universities 

are governed by leaders who 

understand the vital need to make 

higher education more affordable 

and accessible to students, regardless 

of their background. 

Teachers and support staff should 

also celebrate in the election of 

Bridget McCormack to the Michigan 

Supreme Court. McCormack’s victory 

provides the state’s highest court 

with another committed advocate for 

children and middle-class families. 

Finally, the resounding victories for 

President Barack Obama and Sen. 

Debbie Stabenow come as good 

news. Obama and Stabenow have 

shown time and time again that they 

are committed to bringing everyone 

together to tackle challenges and 

solve problems. They will continue 

the fight to help all children get the 

education they need to compete, 

while standing up for school employees’ 

right to collective bargaining. 

The battle continues 

Losing Proposal 2 hurts, but 

Election Day provided many positive 

outcomes. Proposal 1 was defeated. 

Proposal 5 went down in flames. 

Obama and Stabenow were decisively 

re-elected. Voters sided with many 

pro-educator candidates for office. 

What’s more, collective bargaining 

still exists and still provides a way 

for Michigan workers to negotiate 

for fair pay, benefits and working 

conditions. Politicians who attempt 

to weaken collective bargaining will 

face vigorous pushback from MEA 

members, who are more than eager 

to continue their efforts to protect 

children, parents, families and 

school employees. 

Poll shows 70% of voters support 

collective bargaining 

A strong majority of Michigan voters support the right 

of workers to organize and bargaining collectively over 

wages, benefits and working conditions—including 

a majority of those who voted no on Proposal 2 in the 

Nov. 6 election. 

According to a poll conducted by Lake Research 

Partners for Progress Michigan and the Ballot Initiative 

Strategy Center, 70 percent of Michigan voters support 

collective bargaining. That figure includes 55 percent 

of those who voted no on Proposal 2. 

“Michigan voters support collective bargaining 

because they believe it helps provide people the good 

wages and benefits that can support a family and build 

the middle class in Michigan,” wrote Celinda Lake and 

David Mermin of Lake Research Partners. “Although 

voters ultimately rejected Proposal 2, their vote was not 

a vote against collective bargaining. The most common 

reason for voting against Proposal 2 was that voters 

were convinced not to change the constitution.” 

“With the election behind us, voters overwhelmingly 

are ready for politicians in Lansing to get to work 

creating jobs and improving education, not changing 

rules about unions or collective bargaining,” Lake and 

Mermin said. 

The poll was conducted Nov. 5-6 and had a margin of 

error of 4.4 percent.

bids for office: 

THERESA ABED 

HOUSE DISTRICT 71 

Theresa Abed, a Democrat from Grand 

Ledge who has worked as a social worker for 

over 30 years, including 16 years in Grand 

Ledge Public Schools, defeated state Rep. 

Deb Shaughnessy, R-Charlotte, by a 53-47 

margin. Shaughnessy paid dearly for voting 

to cut K-12 education funding by about 

$1 billion while giving CEOs and corporate 

special interests a $1.8 billion tax break. 

JIM ANANICH 


Rep. Jim Ananich, D-Flint, won re-election 

by crushing his Republican opponent, 

75-25. Ananich is a former teacher at 

Carman-Ainsworth and Flint Community 

Schools. 

TERRY BROWN 


After narrowly losing his seat in the 

Republican wave of 2010, Rep. Terry 

Brown, D-Pigeon, took back the 84th 

District by handily beating Republican Dan 

Grimshaw, 53-38. Brown worked for the 

Huron Intermediate School District for more 

than 23 years, and served as an MEA local 

president. 

CHARLES BRUNNER 


Rep. Charles Brunner, D-Bay City, cruised 

to re-election, beating his Republican 

opponent by a 69-31 spread. Brunner is a 

retired teacher and MEA member, having 

taught high school business classes for 

30 years. 

DAVID KNEZEK 


David Knezek, a marine veteran and 

Dearborn Heights Democrat, won easily over 

his Republican opponent, 72-28. Knezek is 

a former vice president of the Student MEA 

and works as a substitute teacher in Wayne 

County. 

COLLENE LAMONTE 


Collene Lamonte, D-Montague, unseated 

state Rep. Holly Hughes, R-White River 

Township, 48-47. Lamonte is a math and 

science teacher at Muskegon High School 

who will be a strong voice for school 

employees throughout Michigan. She 

replaces a right-wing representative who 

voted to limit collective bargaining rights, 

revamp tenure, expand charter and cyber 

schools, and ban payroll deduction of dues. 

STACY ERWIN OAKES 


Rep. Stacy Erwin Oakes, D-Saginaw, won reelection 

by defeating Republican Jeff Baker, 

78-22. Oakes is a former middle-school and 

high-school teacher in Saginaw. She also 

coached girls’ basketball. 

LUPE RAMOS-MONTIGNY 

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION 

Lupe Ramos-Montigny, a Grand Rapids 

Democrat, was elected to the State Board 

of Education with more than 1.9 million 

votes. Ramos-Montigny served as educator, 

principal, bilingual education director and 

adult education instructor for more than 

36 years. She becomes the only former 

educator on the State Board of Education.

Ask questions to take 

charge of your health care 

The best patients ask questions. 

And the best doctors welcome 

questions. Write your important 

questions down ahead of your appointments 

to make sure you don’t 

forget them. Share your questions 

with your doctor and if you don’t understand 

an answer, ask your doctor 

to re-phrase it. 

It’s important that your doctor 

knows what’s bothering you and what 

symptoms you are experiencing, 

even if they seem only minor to you. 

When you partner with your doctor 

to take charge of your health care, 

you’ll both be able to make smarter 

choices that may help you have a 

better quality of life and save time, 

money and hassles. Knowing your 

individual health risk factors, drug 

allergies, family medical history and 

current medical status will make you 

a better partner with your doctor. 

Come to your annual 

physical prepared 

Your annual physical is often your 

best opportunity to talk in depth 

with your doctor and get answers 

to your questions about your own 

health. Doctors often schedule more 

time for health maintenance exams. 

Maximize this time by asking your 

doctor to explain test results, your 

prescriptions, and treatment plans. It 

is also an opportune time to discuss 

strategies and lifestyle changes that 

can help improve your overall health. 

Ask the right questions and 

save time 

Minimize the length of your visits 

by asking the right questions. Make 

sure to bring your list of important 

questions! Some examples might be: 

You’ve prescribed a brand name 

drug for me. Is there a lessexpensive 

generic available or 

less expensive over-the-counter 

version that would be just as 

effective? 

Are there side effects I should 

watch out for? 

I had an allergic reaction to the 

previous medication you prescribed. 

Is the new prescription 

related to that family of drugs? 

Considering the prescriptions, 

over-the-counter drugs, minerals, 

and vitamins I’m taking, is there 

a risk of any drug interaction I 

should avoid? 

Are there any lifestyle changes 

I can make that might eliminate 

my medical need for a certain 

prescription? 

Am I up-to-date on my immunizations 

and preventive 

screenings? 

You’re recommending surgery. 

Are there any non-surgical treatments 

that medical research 

shows work just a well as 

surgery? 

Effective communication between 

you and your doctor can help lead 

to more accurate diagnoses, better 

compliance with instructions, and 

improved patient health.

Honoring the 24+ Club 

It takes a lot of people to make a campaign a success. 

More than 60,000 MEA members signed petitions to 

put an amendment to protect collective bargaining on 

the ballot. Exactly 35,011 members circulated petitions 

to make this happen. Of those, 1,253 members gathered 

at least 24 signatures—the equivalent of at least two full 

petitions. 

Once the amendment was on the ballot, members were 

asked to volunteer 24 hours of their time working to pass 

Proposal 2 and elect recommended candidates in targeted 

House Districts. 

Although every contribution was important, the MEA

Blast off! 

Kingsford science teacher 

ignites students’ imaginations 

The Discovery Channel’s “MythBusters” holds a special 

place in the heart for science lovers everywhere. 

Since 2003, hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage 

have thrilled audiences with hundreds of scientific experiments 

aimed at answering many of life’s persistent 

questions, such as: “How hard is it to find a needle in a 

haystack?” “Is yawning contagious?” “Are bulls really aggravated 

by the color red?” and “Can you eat a spoonful 

of cinnamon without drinking water?” 

The show is enough of a pop-culture icon to have 

inspired bobblehead dolls of Hyneman and Savage. 

Savage’s bobblehead features the bespectacled, goateed 

host strapped to a red-and-silver rocket. 

The bobblehead doll led chemistry and physics teacher 

Bill Bertoldi and his students at Kingsford High School 

to recently attempt to answer another nagging question: 

“How high will a 16-foot-long rocket fly with Adam 

Savage strapped to it?” 

A crew from Discovery’s sister network, the Science 

Channel, traveled to Penn Yan, N.Y., in July to witness 

the Tripoli Rocketry Association’s 31st Annual National 

Launch, where rocketeers from across the nation gathered 

to launch their unique creations. 

Among the rocketeers was Bertoldi, who coordinates 

Kingsford’s High Powered Rocketry Program. The 

program launched in the 1996-97 school year, as part 

of Michigan Technological University’s “Rockets for 

Schools” program. 

The program’s primary goal is to stimulate greater 

academic interest in science, math and technology by 

making it as exciting as possible. By building and testing 

rockets, students learn critical team-building skills, 

increase their knowledge and application of science, and 

get to meet professionals in the aerospace and engineering 

industries. 

“We see a lot of students who come who are not interested 

in going into fields like engineering,” Bertoldi says. 

“By the time they get done, they’re extremely interested. 

That’s very important.” 

The after-school program started with eight students 

and one rocket. Interest has grown over time, with the 

number of annual participants reaching 50 or more, 

meeting three times a week. The size of the rockets has 

also grown, from a single six-foot rocket kit in 1997, to 

17-foot-tall, computer-designed rockets today. Some 

rockets built by Bertoldi’s classes can nearly break the 

sound barrier. 

Bertoldi’s students design rockets with a computer program 

called RockSim. With it, they can tweak design elements 

to see how size, weight, nose cone configurations 

and the placement of fins can all affect rocket flight. 

They then apply skills similar to auto-body work in the 

actual construction of the rockets, using power tools and 

plenty of paint. 

After that comes some good old-fashioned engineering 

by way of trial-and-error. One example: the Team America 

Kingsford High 

School science 

teacher Bill Bartoldi 

and members of 

Kingsford’s High 

Powered Rocketry 

Program pose 

with some of their 

creations. 

MEA VOICE 17

Bartoldi discusses 

“Buster’s Revenge” 

with a film crew 

from the Science 

Channel. 


Rocketry Challenge tasked students across the nation with 

designing a two-stage rocket weighing less than 1,500 

grams that could carry two eggs up to 1,500 feet into the 

air—then land safety without breaking the eggs. Bertoldi’s 

students devised numerous methods of protecting the 

eggs, testing out those methods at a local ski jumping hill. 

They built four different rockets and launched 15 practice 

runs, making corrections along the way. 

The bodies of the rockets only provide one part of the 

experience—a lot of the fun comes in designing the 

payloads. For that, students get to work side-by-side with 

electrical engineers, amateur radio operators and others 

to design and build electronic payloads for the rockets. 

Students have built payloads to record temperatures, 

capture flight sounds, control parachutes, take photographs 

and track GPS locations. They’ve even built 

video-transmitting payloads that relay video from the 

rockets and record it via amateur radio to student-built 

antenna systems. And using parts from smoke detectors, 

they’ve built tracking buzzers to help locate rockets after 

touchdown, which ensures the fun can be repeated. 

Along the way, the Kingsford High Powered Rocketry 

Program has captured numerous state and national 

awards, including DaimlerChrysler’s Engineering 

Educator Award and the National Association of 

Rocketry’s Robert L. Canon Award. 

Even more important than the awards, though, is 

the lifelong interest in science sparked in students by 

Bertoldi’s program. 

“The greatest measure of this program’s success is the 

students’ willingness to come in during the evening to 

design and construct rockets and payloads, and work 

with engineers to learn science on their own time,” 

Bertoldi says. 

Bertoldi estimates that 60 to 70 percent of his students 

eventually advance into science, math and engineering 

fields. Alumni have studied aerospace at Purdue 

University and the University of Michigan. Another 

former student of Bertoldi’s graduated from UM with a 

bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering, and went on to 

work with computer simulations to detect breast cancer 

before recently completing her Ph.D. also in nuclear 

engineering. 

“When kids get the chances, and when they get the 

opportunities, they go on to careers in science and engineering,” 

Bertoldi says. “It’s unbelievable where we see 

these kids go, and that’s due to this program. That’s one 

of the things I’m most proud of.” 

Another thing Bertoldi is proud of is working to get more 

female students to seek careers in math, science and 

technology, as women are notoriously underrepresented 

in those fields. 

Few women end up working in the hard sciences, despite 

research showing that girls are extremely interested 

in technical fields. According to a study by the Girl Scout 

Research Institute, 85 percent of girls like to solve problems, 

83 percent like to complete hands-on science projects, 

80 percent ask questions and seek answers about 

how things work, and 67 percent like to build things. 

“Girls deserve to have the same opportunities as boys,” 

Bertoldi says. “You see really good creative engineering 

ideas come out of young women. Historically, they’re not 

going into those fields. If half the population of this country 

is female, then half the engineers should be female.” 

Indeed, each year about half of Bertoldi’s program 

consists of girls. In some years, females make up the 

majority. 

Girls and boys alike had equal input into Bertoldi’s most 

recent rocketry class, which built its most ambitious 

project yet. 

“For years, students have asked if they could fly in one 

of our rockets—in a joking way,” Bertoldi says. “I would 

always tell them that it was against the law for them to

Bargaining and Public Affairs 

Conference to be held Feb. 7-8 

The 2013 MEA Bargaining and Public Affairs 

Conference will be held Feb. 7-8 at Cobo Center 

in Detroit, and will provide numerous opportunities for 

teachers and support staff to sharpen their professional 

skills while networking with colleagues from all corners of 

the state. 

The theme of the conference is “Advocacy Through 

Member Engagement,” and it will feature keynote 

speaker Deborah Loewenberg Ball, chair of the Michigan 

Council for Educator Effectiveness and dean of the 

University of Michigan’s School of Education. 

Ball, an expert on teacher training and development, 

serves as director of TeachingWorks, a national organization 

dedicated to improving teacher education. Ball 

convincingly argues that policymakers must place more 

focus on developing current teachers—both those who 

are experienced and those just starting out. 

This approach serves as a contrast to the reckless approach 

taken by anti-union zealots that school administrators 

should somehow just “find better teachers.” 

Skillful teaching is not common sense, Ball says. 

Instead, skillful teaching can—and must—be taught. 

Ball taught elementary school for more than 15 years, 

and she continues to teach math to elementary students 

every summer. 

The 2013 Bargaining and Public Affairs Conference 

will also feature a two-day session called the Blended 

Learning Institute. The session will provide educators 

with options for bringing blended learning into 

their classrooms to create a more dynamic learning 

experience. 

Over two days, the Blended Learning Institute will answer 

three important questions: 

1. What is “Blended Learning” and what are the benefits 

of incorporating it into a classroom? 

2. What defines a one-to-one classroom and how would 

one set up the networking in his or her school to support 

it? 

3. How can teachers and support staff use technology 

to inform classroom decisions and improve student 

learning and achievement? 

As always, the Bargaining and Public Affairs Conference 

will feature dozens of educational and informative sessions 

geared toward collective bargaining, public affairs 

and professional development. Here’s just a small 

sample of session offerings: 

“We’re All in This Together”: Attendees will explore

fly in it, but I didn’t think the law said anything about 

tying them to a rocket. It became a running joke with 

students.” 

One night, some of Bertoldi’s students showed him the 

Adam Savage bobblehead and told him “MythBusters” 

was going to end up beating him in tying someone to a 

rocket and flying it. 

Not one to be outdone, Bertoldi and his class began work 

on a new project for the Tripoli Rocketry Association’s annual 

national launch, which was to take place the following 

July. They knew what needed to be done: build their own 

working Adam Savage bobblehead rocket. 

“It took us from October to June to get the rocket to work 

in a small scale, and then it was a mad rush to get the 

rocket ready for the launch on July 15,” Bertoldi says. 

At first it seemed impossible to attach a life-sized Adam 

Savage mannequin to a rocket and have it fly straight, as 

the body attached to the rocket kept arching away from 

the fuselage. 

“The only way we could figure out to make it fly straight 

was to make it tall and add weight to the top of the rocket,” 

Bertoldi says. “Concrete was added to the nose cone 

to make it weigh 20 pounds, and iron rods were added 

Cynthia Williams, 

MESSA Executive Director 

to the connectors between the rocket tubes to make it 

heavier. The additional weight made it fly perfectly.” 

Bertoldi and his class decided to enter the Adam 

Savage bobblehead rocket, dubbed “Buster’s Revenge,” 

into the Tripoli Rocketry Association’s “Odd Roc” competition, 

in which novelty rockets face off against one 

another. 

“It was the one Odd Roc that flew like a rocket,” 

Bertoldi proudly notes of “Buster’s Revenge,” which 

placed second in the national competition. 

On hand for the launch was “MythBusters” hostess Kari 

Byron, who interviewed Bertoldi for a Science Channel 

special called “Large Dangerous Rocket Ships.” The 

special aired Oct. 28. 

“That was a very unique experience,” Bertoldi says. “I 

barely got to launch the rocket, because there were so 

many people there asking questions, taking pictures and 

asking about the program with the kids. As a teacher, 

that was one of the best experiences of my life.” 

Unfortunately, Bertoldi’s students couldn’t join him for 

the launch last July, as the event spanned several days 

and was nearly 1,000 miles away from Kingsford. They’re 

planning a launch closer to home in the spring so students 

and parents can see Buster’s Revenge soar with their own 

eyes—1,958 feet into the Northern Michigan sky.
