School aid: other; funding for learner-first district; provide for. Amends sec. 11 of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1611) & adds sec. 72.
This bill amends the state school aid act to appropriate approximately $18.1 billion for public schools and education purposes for the fiscal year ending in 2026, and about $18.8 billion for the following year. It specifies that these funds will be drawn from multiple sources, including the state school aid fund, the general fund, and various specialized reserve funds for transportation, enrollment stabilization, and educator fellowships. Additionally, the bill allocates up to $50,000 from the state school aid fund to support the operation of a specific "learner-first district." The legislation only takes effect if a separate companion bill is also enacted into law.
