Education: other; public innovative programs; provide for. Amends secs. 6, 18 & 101 of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1606 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5983'26
HB 5984 amends Michigan's State School Aid Act to clarify how student attendance and membership are calculated for funding purposes, particularly for special education and cyber schools. The bill defines specific rules for counting students in 'center programs' for special needs pupils and establishes detailed participation requirements for cyber school students, such as logging into lessons or engaging in virtual activities. Additionally, it updates the definition of membership to ensure accurate funding distribution based on actual student enrollment and attendance across various district types.
