Schools need certainty, not the chaos that is created when the state can’t finish a budget on time. #miched #mileg
Opinion | Michigan’s legislators and governor need to pass a K-12 budget now bit.ly/4eepXqG
Families won’t want to live in a state without a properly supported education system and quality local governments, no matter what the property tax rate may be.
This irresponsible plan starts by eliminating $3.5 billion in school aid revenue & that’s before we add in the cuts to local district and gov revenue. In the name of property tax reform.
The House Government Operations Committee is considering bills this morning to massively cut revenues available to local govs & schools. #mileg
A partisan designation will also block federal employees, anyone who’s position is paid with federal funds, state civil servants and the military from serving their districts.
MI House Elections Committee approved HB4588 today to make school board elections partisan. It will now go to the full House. Contact your Rep & tell them your thoughts on being forced to declare a party to run for school board. #mileg
Senate finally passes a school aid budget just after 1 am and 3 months into the school fiscal year. Now for the House to act. #miched
We still have concerns over how much higher ed money will be shifted into School Aid to free up general fund dollars for other purposes.
Oddly, the school aid budget analysis floating around does NOT include higher ed. Hmmm.
Conference committee expected yet this evening. With votes to follow. Senate still has the revenue and roads bills before it to vote on.
Summary of the K-12 budget coming out, perpupil foundation at $10,050; free meals continue, Schl safety & mental health at $300M. Still waiting on the actual budget doc to fill in details. #miched
We are working on more details but other school funding should be fine because it is paid ahead. Fed free and reduced lunch has funding to last 2-3 months. SNAP/bridge cards has funding to cover 1 month. Hopefully shutdown doesn’t last longer than that.
Fed government shut down at midnight. Head start programs that receive funding Oct 1 are immediately impacted and Impact Aid that replaces federal funding due from federal tax exempt lands will also be stopped quickly.
What we don’t know: any details on funding amounts, what else is funded in the budget, how/if the $750M sales tax shift will be backfilled #miched
Legislature passed a one week General Fund budget after 1 am. A week more to wait for a school aid budget. The only thing we know is free meals will be included and there will be a perpupil increase. #miched
The House and Senate were in session all day, nothing was voted on and we still don’t have a budget. House returns to session at 12:01 am, Senate at 12:30 am #miched
Where things stand at 12:02 a.m.: Michigan misses budget deadline, but Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says state operations will continue. Whitmer hasn't explained what legal basis is allowing the government to stay open as normal without a budget. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
We still have no details about a School Aid budget or if/how they will fill the $750M hole in school funding created by their sales tax shift on fuel to fund roads #mileg #4days
A few days before Michigan lawmakers will vote on a new budget, schools have little to no idea what their funding plan will be. Story with @DNBethLeBlanc. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…

Here's a story you may have missed yesterday, but an important one. Michigan public schools are preparing to take out loans (w/ interest & fees) for cash flow should state lawmakers not pass a budget before Sept. 30. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol… via @DNBethLeBlanc & @CraigDMauger
