The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding a new section, 1310f, which mandates that starting with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, the Michigan legislature must appropriate a minimum of $210.00 per pupil to each public school in the state. This funding is specifically designated for enhancing mental health services and improving school safety.
Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "membership" as it pertains to this funding, referencing the definition provided in section 6 of the State School Aid Act of 1979. This ensures that the allocation of funds is based on the established criteria for student enrollment in public schools.
