A bill to amend 1979 PA 94, entitled “The state school aid act of 1979,” by amending section 61c (MCL 388.1661c), as amended by 2022 PA 144.
Allocates up to $7,500,000.00 from the state school aid fund for the 2022-2023 fiscal year to career education planning districts (CEPDs) for various purposes. To receive funding, CEPDs must apply in a prescribed manner, with allocations based on the number of state-approved career and technical education (CTE) programs, excluding early middle college programs. Special consideration is given to CEPDs in areas without a 2022 vocational-technical education millage, granting them double the usual allocation. At least 50% of the funds must be used for updating equipment in high-ranking CTE programs, training, professional development, or for new and emerging CTE programs that align with industry technology advancements.
