The bill amends the Revised School Code of 1976 by adding a new section, 1310g, which mandates that starting with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, the Michigan legislature must appropriate funds annually to public schools specifically to support at-risk pupils, as defined in section 31a of the state school aid act of 1979.

Under this new provision, each public school will receive an amount equal to 35% of the foundation allowance it receives under section 20 of the state school aid act for the fiscal year in which the funds are appropriated. This initiative aims to enhance financial support for schools serving at-risk students, ensuring they have the necessary resources to provide adequate educational opportunities.
