School Funding

The Issue

School funding is grossly inadequate. For one there is not enough money for school aid. Secondly, there is much too wide a disparity between the lower and higher funded districts.

The school funding issue is a revenue issue, not a spending issue. MichiganÕs revenue system is unfair, unstable and inadequate.

Action Steps

We urge elected officials to support the education funding proposal of the K-16 Coalition to bring stability and predictability to school funding. (http://www.michigank16.org)

We also urge elected officials to examine the real financial needs of school districts and then adopt a revenue structure for Michigan that is fair, stable and adequate and funds not only our public schools, but higher education and all state services as well.
