This bill provides supplemental funding for Michigan public schools for the 2025-2026 fiscal year by allocating money from multiple state funds, including the state school aid fund, general fund, and various reserve funds. It establishes specific payment schedules requiring the state treasurer to distribute funds to school districts in eleven monthly installments starting in October 2025, with provisions for adjusting payments if errors occur or if districts need temporary advance releases. The legislation also includes requirements that any unspent general fund allocations be transferred to a stabilization fund at the end of the fiscal year and mandates that all available federal funds be used only as allocated in the bill.
