About the talk
What are some of the central policies governing Michigan education today, and what does the future hold? Dr. Randy Liepa, Superintendent of the Wayne Regional Educational Service Agency, joins us to discuss the current state of K-12 education in Michigan and how a unique collation of business, education, labor, philanthropy, and state and community leaders called “Launch Michigan” has joined forces to promote research-based strategies for educational excellence and equity for all Michigan students, with a goal of bridging partisan divisions and transcending election cycles.
Randy Liepa was appointed to the position of Superintendent of the Wayne County Regional Education Service Agency (Wayne RESA) in August 2015. Wayne RESA is the largest education service agency in the state providing leadership, programs and services to 33 public school districts and 108 public school academies in Wayne County.

Prior to joining Wayne RESA, he was with Livonia Public Schools, one of the ten largest districts in the state, and served as their Superintendent for 12 years.
