SOS Michigan - http://www.sosmichigan.org/ 
The Vision of SOS is:
• Helping students, schools and our state create a better future
• Mobilizing members and our communities to achieve a better future
• Promoting needed changes in how students are taught, how schools are funded, and how schools operate
The Mission of SOS is:
1. To promote the replacement of the current K-12 funding system with one that is more equitable and provides better and more stable funding sources. To do this we will grow the grassroots support within our communities, utilize the expertise of knowledgeable people and organizations and become increasingly politically active with a broader base.
2. To assist schools in evaluating and implementing methods to increase efficiency and effectiveness in managing schools and educating students. We will foster thoughtful evaluation of current practices and structures and provide ideas, support and decision tools for this effort. Our goal is to help restrain and reduce costs while increasing the effectiveness of what we do.
3. To provide materials and assistance to help schools understand and explain our school funding crisis to their communities. We will create advocacy materials, materials to assist districts in working with their communities and the media, and training and support for the creation of grass roots efforts.
