Reverend Dee Dee Coleman of Russell Street Baptist Church of Detroit offered the following invocation:
Unless the Lord builds the house, they that labor, labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches the cities, they that watch, watch in vain. O Lord our God, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth. O Lord our God, how marvelous is Thy grace. We've come, O God, not because we've been so good or so kind, but we've come because You have been kind to us. And we've come to thank You for this day, the day that You have made. We've come asking that You would bless this Senate on this day. Bless their hearts and their hands. Bless them, O God, as they labor in Your work. Bless these servants You have put in this place, O God. We have business to take care of--the homeless, the sick, the destitute, and the lonely--O God.
Help us, O God, to do Thy will, and we will ever give You the praise, the honor, and the glory that is rightfully Yours. O Lord our God, how excellent is Thy name. In Your name, we give thanks and praise. Amen.
The Assistant President pro tempore, Senator Sanborn, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Protests
Senators Thomas, Clark-Coleman and Scott, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against concurring in the House substitute to Senate Bill No. 364.
Senators Thomas and Clark-Coleman moved that the statements they made during the discussion of the bill be printed as their reasons for voting "no."
The motion prevailed.
Senator Thomas' first statement is as follows:
I actually, unfortunately, would rise to ask for a non-concurrence. I can't support this legislation. I represent a school district that doesn't have an elected school board. I appreciate the flexibility that districts have and the belief that, in fact, if citizens don't want a four-day week, they would tell their school board that they're not going to go there. In my district, if, in fact, the school board decides to go to a four-day week, I have absolutely no recourse for that because I have no say-so over anything associated with my school board there.
So I think that you're potentially opening up a Pandora's box here. I just don't think that we've really looked at all of the implications for this legislation. So I would hope that we would take a little more time on this and work through that issue that deals with districts that are under control of reform boards that are appointed by state government. Absent that, the local control issue that we speak of is completely irrelevant. I have no local control in my district over my school system, and so I think the unintended consequence here is potentially very, very damaging for cities like Detroit.
Senator Thomas' second statement is as follows:
I completely agree with the notion that the flexibility needed for some northern Michigan districts is important. It makes a lot of sense. But, again, the reality is this: Should my school district voluntarily do this, I, as a citizen, have absolutely no way to say I disapprove because I have absolutely, as a citizen of Detroit, no right to vote on any decision of a school board in the city of Detroit. So, again, it's a great flexibility issue for districts that have elected school boards. I don't have that opportunity in the city of Detroit, and therefore, whether they voluntarily choose or not is irrelevant. It's a unilateral decision in Detroit made by seven people, period, not by the nearly one million people who actually live there.
Senator Clark-Coleman's statement, in which Senator Scott concurred, is as follows:
I had not--and I have to certainly say--thought how this would impact on districts that have no elected school board. We don't, and I have to certainly take my hat off to Senator Thomas for bringing to my attention that we do not have an elected school board. This selected school board might very well make a decision to go to a four-day school week, which will impact my district in that it would put many parents at disadvantages for now having to go out and find some place to house their students on the fifth day. That would cause a serious problem for many of the urban school districts, and the only one that I could think of that it would impact on would certainly be the city of Detroit. So although I supported this bill before, I hadn't thought about the consequences and how it would impact my city because we do not have an elected school board. So based on that, I will certainly have to vote "no" on this.

Senate Resolution No. 109.
A resolution honoring Lansing's 10th Annual Juneteenth Celebration and Festival 2003.
Whereas, It is a privilege to participate in Lansing's 10th Annual Juneteenth Celebration and Festival 2003, where people of all races, nationalities, and religions acknowledge the tremendous impact this period in our history has had on society. African American Emancipation Day, June 19, marks the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in America. Major General Gordon Granger led a thousand Union soldiers to Galveston, Texas, in 1865 to inform residents that the war had ended and read General Order Number 3 which declared that the enslaved were free. Juneteenth became a time to honor African American freedom and to stress the importance of education, achievement, and self-improvement; and
Whereas, On January 1, 1980, Juneteenth was designated as an official state holiday in Texas, becoming the first emancipation celebration in history to have state recognition. Representative Al Edwards of Texas has worked actively to spread the observation of this distinguished holiday across America. His immense efforts have yielded great success, and there has been a growing interest in this celebration in recent years. Today, institutions, including the Smithsonian and the Henry Ford Museum, have begun to sponsor Juneteenth-inspired activities; and
Whereas, Juneteenth provides people with the opportunity to pay tribute to those who experienced the horrors of slavery. It is a time of reflection and remembrance. This special event is filled with stimulating guest speakers, prayer services, picnics, and family gatherings. Barbeques are also synonymous with Juneteenth because participants can share in the spirit their ancestors experienced many years ago during their celebrations; and
Whereas, Regardless of how Juneteenth is celebrated, its participants have a common goal to encourage and cultivate knowledge and appreciation of African American history and culture. Unquestionably, Juneteenth has significantly influenced American society. Future generations will continue to learn about and honor those who lived through slavery and liberation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body commemorate Lansing's 10th Annual Juneteenth Celebration and Festival 2003 and commend the Juneteenth Day Committee and Mask Memorial C.M.E. Church for their tremendous contributions which have made this event possible; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Juneteenth Day Committee and the Mask Memorial C.M.E. Church.
Senators Cropsey, Kuipers, Switalski and Van Woerkom were named co-sponsors of the resolution.
