Kent ISD helps our schools focus on what's really important - teaching and learning - by assisting with and improving effectiveness in a broad range of non-instructional areas.  They collaborate extensively with their districts, ranging from payroll and HR services, county-wide collective bargaining, cooperative purchasing, a technology Help Desk and Data Warehouse, legislative liaison and much more.

The REMC Association of Michigan believes it must provide proactive leadership to the Michigan educational community in building a vision that supports quality teaching and learning, the effective use of educational technology and provides equity to Michigan's pre-K-12 students.  

The REMC Association of Michigan will accomplish this within the framework of the following principles:

• Improve learning for all students.

• Support constituents and improve teaching and learning statewide through future-focused collaboration, leadership and service.

• Empower teachers to create high quality, engaging instructional environments when they have access to the necessary skills, tools and rich sources of information.

• Provide effective cost savings through statewide cooperative purchasing, which allows local resources to be reallocated to enhance teaching and learning.

• Advance statewide connectivity through delivery systems and infrastructure.
