Introduced
by
The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Department of Education budget. This would appropriate $119.9 million in gross spending, compared to $95.1 million, which was the FY 2008-2009 amount enrolled in 2008. Of this, $26.3 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2008-2009 amount of $7.5 million. Another $7.08 million comes from state “restricted fund” revenue that is generated by various fees and other levies, and most of the balance ($76.4 million) is federal money. The budget includes $22 million for library functions previously in the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries, whose functions Gov. Granholm intends to consolidate into other departments.

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Department of Education budget. This would appropriate $95.1 million in gross spending, compared to $95.1 million, which was the FY 2008-2009 amount enrolled in 2008. Of this, $6.8 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2008-2009 amount of $7.5 million. Another $7.3 million comes from state “restricted fund” revenue that is generated by various fees and other levies, and most of the balance ($76.4 million) is federal money. The Senate does not eliminate the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries as proposed by Gov. Granholm, so this budget does not include $22 million added by the House for library spending.
