2010 Senate Bill 1163 ↩

Senate Roll Call 159: Passed

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-2011 school aid budget. This would appropriate $12.656 billion, compared to $12.823 billion for FY 2009-2010, and $12.863 billion recommended by Gov. Granholm (contingent on a $557 million tax increase). The bill would reduce the per-pupil foundation grant by $118, but this would not happen if the additional school employee pension contributions proposed by Senate Bill 1227 are adopted. It would also add-back half of the "Section 20j" money for districts especially impacted by Proposal A vetoed in 2009 by Gov. Granholm.
