Lansing — Detroit school children, Flint residents and residents across the state will be affected when the next state budget takes effect in three months.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has signed the $54.9 billion spending plan after months of deliberation by the GOP-controlled Legislature. It will touch many corners of Michigan life — from spending on public schools and road repairs to increased dental coverage for low-income children and how many state troopers patrol the highways.
A look at the budget’s impact on you:
Education
If you:
■ Have a child in a traditional public or charter school, per-pupil grants will increase by $60 to $120, or 0.7 percent to 1.6 percent. The gap between wealthier and poorer districts will shrink.
■ Have a child in the lowest-achieving 5 percent of schools, the school could see new leadership. There is new money — $5 million — for the state to hire “CEOs” to turn around academics, starting with four buildings in East Detroit Public Schools.
