education budget

Governor Gretchen Whitmer was in Northern Michigan Thursday to sign the new pre-K-through-12th-grade education budget.

There are two school aid bills, one pending in the state House, and one just passed by the Senate as part of a larger budget package. Public school advocates say they include some measures educators and school districts have long sought.

Michigan’s governor announced Monday the people who will serve on a government council to involve parents in the education budget-making process.

Whitmer said the state needs to build on the momentum of the record education budget she just signed, and provide relief to families and teachers hurt by inflation.

The governor says the $19.6 billion budget contains major increases in spending on per-student investment, school infrastructure, teacher recruitment, and school safety.

A multi-billion-dollar school spending plan is advancing out of a Michigan Senate appropriations subcommittee.
