Support School Funding to Save our Programs

The immediate crisis facing our public schools is the possibility that the state will have to actually take back money promised to all the school districts in Michigan for the current school year. This “proration,” as the law calls it, is caused by a shortfall in the revenues from taxes earmarked for school funding. It’s important to know that the cuts will happen automatically unless the Governor and Legislature find additional funds to fill the gap.

This would be the third time in the last five years that these midyear cuts have been made. Please visit Michigan Parents for Schools for more information.
