More than $28 million in new money is coming to Greater Lansing schools following the approval of a historic state K-12 funding bill.
The bill will help close a district funding gap, an effort that started with the 1994 approval of Proposal A, which replaced property taxes with state taxes as the main source of school funding. The bill means an increase in base funding from $8,100 per student in some districts to $8,700 per student in all schools.
The bill will bring millions of dollars in extra funding to Greater Lansing schools as they rebound from a year of remote learning amid COVID-19 concerns. Lansing School District alone could see more than $4 million in new state education funding.
