This bill amends the State School Aid Act of 1979 by adjusting the appropriations for public schools in Michigan for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2026, and September 30, 2027. For the fiscal year 2026, the total appropriation from the state school aid fund is decreased from $18,179,025,300.00 to $18,179,075,300.00. Additionally, the bill outlines various funding sources, including allocations from the general fund and several specific reserve funds, while ensuring that general fund allocations are expended before those from the state school aid fund.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section (Sec. 72) that allocates up to $50,000.00 from the state school aid fund to the learner-first district board for its operational needs, as defined in the revised school code. The enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 5919 from the 103rd Legislature.
