Bill > HB6279

This bill amends the State School Aid Act of 1979 to provide funding for the implementation of a "Michigan Kids Back on Track Program" and to cover costs associated with criminal history and records checks for new staff hired for this program. The bill allocates $280 million from the State School Aid Fund for the Michigan Kids Back on Track Program, which is designed to address unfinished learning and help students reach grade-level academic standards. It also allocates $5 million to reimburse eligible districts for the costs of criminal history and records checks for new staff hired for the program. The bill establishes specific requirements for districts to receive this funding, such as developing and posting a plan for implementing the program on their website and matching the state funds with additional local funds.
