Michigan Public Education Finance Project Draft Legislation

Oxford Foundation –
November 19, 2012

This draft legislation outlines a Michigan school finance system in which most state per-pupil funding would follow individual students to any public school the student chooses to attend.  Districts would be free to choose whether they want to accept non-district students. The 302-page proposal would also give early high school graduates up to $10,000 for college, expand online learning possibilities, and reduce money to schools that do not improve student test scores.
