The bill amends the State School Aid Act of 1979, significantly altering funding allocations for Michigan public schools for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2026. The total appropriation for the 2025 fiscal year is reduced from $17,769,551,300 to $17,688,951,300, while the 2026 fiscal year is allocated $19,017,010,000. Key changes include an increase in the allocation for school loan bond redemption from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000, and the introduction of new requirements for districts to allocate at least 10% of targeted student support dollars for interventions in support category buildings. The bill also establishes the MiStrategyBank to maintain a list of tutoring programs that meet specific criteria, enhancing accountability and ensuring effective interventions.

Additionally, the bill outlines a comprehensive framework for evaluating pupil performance, particularly in mathematics, and introduces provisions to prohibit the promotion of race or gender stereotyping in school curricula. It mandates that school athletic teams be designated based on the biological sex of participants and requires parental notification for minors requesting name or pronoun changes. The bill also adjusts funding allocations for various educational initiatives, including mental health services, early childhood education, and career and technical education programs, while establishing new reserve funds for enrollment stabilization and school meals. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance educational support, accountability, and funding mechanisms for vulnerable districts and students, while ensuring compliance with state regulations.
