Michigan Principals

Sen budget is out & includes a shift to true weighted funding, huge win for MI’s students. Other highlights: 2.5% increase to foundation ($250/pupil), 25% increases to At Risk & ELL, 6% bump to other weights. Overall excellent budget. MI’s ed community spoke & the Senate listened

Coming next is the Senate budget at noon, so stay tuned. Still, not an auspicious start to the day. The entire education community (management, labor, charters, etc.) said "shift to true weighted funding" and the House budget simply didn't. Senate should be better news though.

House K-12 & MDE Appropriations is meeting this morning to adopt the House recommendations for the School Aid and MDE budget for FY 26/27. Senate PK-12 Approps is meeting at noon. We should have all the budget recs on the table by the end of the day. #miched #mibudget
