This year&#8217;s $82.5 billion budget is an opportunity to make major investments in the future of our state. From education and healthcare to our environment and infrastructure, this budget is reflective of the issues facing residents across our state. \u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Some of these statewide investments include:<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">K-12 <\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Providing a quality, free, public education should always be the top priority for the State of Michigan and this year\u2019s budget makes progress towards that goal. Having served in the Legislature for over a decade now, it is great to finally see budgets that increase allocations to K-12 schools faster than the rate of inflation. This year continues that new trend.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This year\u2019s K-12 budget is a little different than previous years because we made major changes to how we fund post-employment benefits. As you may know, Michigan schools and school employees have been paying to cover past pension obligations and to pre-fund post-employment healthcare for employees. This year, the fund for post-employment healthcare reached greater than 100% funding for its expected future costs. Therefore, we decided to redirect the revenue that was previously going to fund post-employment healthcare to the classroom.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">To restate it more plainly, schools receive money from Lansing every year but then send back a little over 20% of their total payroll to pay off pension liabilities. By changing how much schools pay for past pension costs by reducing the percentage of their payroll that has to come back to the state for the Michigan Public School Employees\u2019 Retirement System (MPSERS), the school districts will have more money to spend in classrooms. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">On average, our budget increases per-pupil funding by approximately $400, or around 4.16%, per student statewide. This affects each district a little differently, largely depending on the percentage of their budget devoted to payroll.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">One additional point is that these increases only include how the changes to MPSERS affect the districts. These numbers don&#8217;t include the increases districts may receive through other budget lines such as \u201cat-risk\u201d funding or funding for \u201ccareer technical education,\u201d etc. In general, schools will see increases in funding for special education, at-risk students, FAFSA completion rates, English language learners and career technical education. <\/span><span
