Committee Approves Education Spending Bill

A legislative conference committee has approved a $13.9 billion spending bill for K-12 education in the state.

The measure provides between $70 and $140 per pupil additional funding through the 2x formula giving more to lower-funded districts.

The total does not include $50 million set aside to either address Detroit Public Schools or provide some additional funding to all schools.

Those funds could add another $33 per pupil.

Final votes on the entire $55 million state budget are expected Wednesday and Thursday.
