2010 House Bill 5887 ↩

Senate Roll Call 572: Passed

To appropriate $259 million in federal "stimulus" money to increase school aid payments by $111 per student for higher-spending schools, and $222 for lower spending ones. This is a re-do of House Bill 5872, whose federal "edu-jobs" stimulus distribuion formula was vetoed by Gov. Granholm because it may have violated federal strings tied to the money. The bill also makes an adjustment to school aid increases to cover the cost of a "unfunded mandate" lawsuit over a new student performance data collection requirement, and appropriates some school aid fund money left-over at the end of the previous fiscal year.
