MASSP members can access an article with a detailed breakdown of the School Aid Budget passed tonight on our website:

And now the House has concurred in the conference report for SB 166. Wiht that, the bill now heads to Governor Whitmer's desk for her signature, which is expected to come quickly. This should ensure MDE has time to process Oct 20 state aid payments on time. #miched

After hours of waiting, the Michigan Senate has voted to report out the School Aid omnibus budget conference report. SB 166 (CR-1) now heads to the House for concurrence. The Senate also concurred in the general fund omnibus budget that already passed the House. #miched
