Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled"The revised school code,"(MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding section 1281d.

AI Summary

This bill amends the revised school code to require the Michigan legislature to appropriate at least $12.3 million annually, starting in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, specifically for providing supplemental payments to rural and isolated school districts. These supplemental payments would be made according to the provisions outlined in section 22d of the state school aid act of 1979, which defines the criteria for what constitutes a rural district. The purpose of this bill appears to be ensuring dedicated funding support for school districts in less populated or geographically remote areas of Michigan, which often face unique financial challenges due to lower student populations, greater transportation costs, and limited local tax base resources.
