Michigan wants more college grads. Can boosting spending for dual enrollment help?

• The share of Michigan students who take college classes while attending a high school is one of the lowest in the nation
• Advocates for higher education attribute it to a lack of awareness. School districts need to pay for the college courses with their per-pupil state-funding allotment
• An effort is underway to create a new fund of $62 million to cover the costs statewide
