See How House GOP K-12 Plan Impacts Your School District
Lansing, MI - Today marks the July 1st budget deadline, and so far House Republicans are the only team in town that has presented a balanced K-12 budget recommendation.
The House proposal includes a historic 20% increase in per-pupil funding, up to $12,000 per student, to give our schools the resources and flexibility to meet the most pressing needs of their students. House Republicans are also proposing reforms that dollars can’t buy, with a plan that would bring more transparency and accountability to Michigan classrooms.
Here’s what that 20% additional funding would look like for some of the largest school districts in Senate Democrat districts:
Detroit Public Schools Community District: $76 million
Utica Community Schools: $39.3 million
Plymouth-Canton Community Schools: $24.1 million
Ann Arbor Public Schools: $23.7 million
Chippewa Valley Schools: $22.4 million
Grand Rapids Public Schools: $20.6 million
Kalamazoo Public School District: $20.6 million
Warren Consolidated Schools: $19 million
Walled Lake Consolidated Schools: $18.2 million
Lansing Public Schools: $15.2 million
L’Anse Creuse Public Schools: $14 million
South Lyon Community Schools: $12.8 million
Grand Blanc Community Schools: $11.7 million
Birmingham City School District: $10.1 million
Grosse Pointe Public Schools: $9.7 million
Novi Community School District: $9.6 million
Jackson Public Schools: $9.4 million
Woodhaven-Brownstown School District: $9 million
Okemos Public Schools: $7 million
“House Republicans are demonstrating what’s possible when leaders roll up their sleeves and do the hard work. Lansing can afford to invest more resources directly into classrooms and fix our crumbling roads, all while cutting taxes for hardworking Michiganders. Senate Democrats are the only thing standing in the way of tax cuts, better roads, and more resources for Michigan students,” said Zach Rudat, Spokesperson for Michigan Forward Network.
Every school district, including ones in the vacant 35th Senate District, would see additional funding under the House GOP K-12 plan. Click here to see how your school district would benefit.
