The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding a new section, 1310g, which mandates that starting in 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 that fiscal year. This funding aims to enhance resources and support for at-risk students, ensuring they have access to necessary educational assistance.
