A bill to amend 1979 PA 94, entitled “The state school aid act of 1979,” by amending section 11 (MCL 388.1611), as amended by 2023 PA 103, and by adding section 34a.
SB 795 amends the School Aid Act to allow funding from the general fund to be allocated to a postsecondary institution for the establishment of reading scholarships to address learning loss among at-risk student populations. Parents of eligible students would have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship and select from a list of services an intervention to improve their child's reading proficiency. This aligns with our priority to empower parents with greater access to educational options that are better able to meet their children's learning needs.
