The House version of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Department of Education budget. This would appropriate $120.6 million in gross spending, compared to $95.1 million, which was the FY 2008-2009 amount enrolled in 2008. Of this, $26.7 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 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.
