HB 4705 amends Michigan's State School Aid Act to allocate $17.77 billion in state funding for K-12 public schools during the 2025-2026 school year. It specifies that funds will come from the state school aid fund and designated trust funds (including those for transportation, meals, and school readiness programs). The bill establishes a payment schedule of 11 installments per year, starting October 20 and ending August 20, to distribute funds to school districts. Additionally, it allows temporary advances to districts in urgent need, with advances limited to no more than 30 days before the regular payment date.
