*Gov. Whitmer Applauds Passage of ‘Make it in Michigan’ Budget* 

"Balanced, bipartisan budget makes investments to lower costs, grow the economy, support student success, and deliver on the kitchen-table issues" 

 

*LANSING, Mich. *— Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer celebrated the passage of a balanced, bipartisan state budget for Fiscal Year 2024 focused on growing the economy, lowering costs, delivering on kitchen-table issues, and helping anyone “Make it in Michigan.” 

 

“The Make it in Michigan budget will build a bright future for our state,” said *Governor Whitmer*. “It lowers costs on health care, preschool, meals for kids, higher education, housing, and workforce training. It will help us keep fixing the damn bridges, replacing lead pipes, and protecting public safety. And it will power 'Make it in Michigan,’ our comprehensive vision for economic development so we can win more projects, invest in people, and revitalize places. I am so grateful to the new leadership in the legislature for getting this done. Let’s keep our foot on the accelerator.” 

 

“This budget will make a real difference for Michiganders in every corner of our state,” said *Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II.* “It makes bold, historic investments to grow economic opportunity and empower the next generation—replacing lead pipes, closing health equity gaps, expanding skills training, and providing free breakfast and lunch for every Michigan student. With this budget, we will help more individuals, families, and business owners ‘Make it in Michigan.’ Governor Whitmer and I will continue working with anyone to build a Michigan where we all can thrive.” 

 

“The budget for fiscal year 2024 makes strategic investments that will make a difference in the lives of every Michigander and delivers fiscal responsibility through deposits into the State’s Budget Stabilization Fund and a new rainy day fund for public schools,” said *State Budget Director Christopher Harkins*. “This budget prioritizes funding for Michigan’s students, schools, public health, natural resources, and communities. I am confident this budget will move Michigan forward.” 

 

_*The Budget* _

The FY24 budget totals $81.7 billion. It includes a general fund total of $15.2 billion and a School Aid Fund total of $19.4 billion. The budget provides a significant amount of one-time funding while maintaining a structural balance in future years and does not utilize one-time funds for ongoing purposes. It makes investments to support the success of Michigan students and teachers, improve the state’s infrastructure, better the health of residents, protect natural resources, and expand opportunity for families, communities, and businesses. 

 

_*Education – Getting Kids Back on Track & Supporting Student Success*_ 

The budget continues historic public education investments, including: 

 

"K-12 Education" 


* $611 million to increase per-pupil funding by 5%, an additional $458 per student, for a total of $9,608 per pupil. Per-pupil funding is up 22% since the Governor took office.  
* $450 million deposit into a new rainy day fund for schools, setting aside resources for future needs and shoring up the long-term financial stability of the state’s public education system. 
* $370 million to support teachers, including continued support for the MI Future Educator Program (which provides a tuition free path for college students to become certified teachers) and funds to retain and develop existing teachers through mentorship programs.  
* $328 million for mental health and school safety. 

* $254.6 million to expand free pre-K for up to 5,600 kids, working towards Pre-K for All by the end of the Governor’s second term, saving families $10,000 a year and putting kids on the path to a brighter future.  
* $204.5 million increase, for a total of $952 million, in funding for academically at-risk, economically disadvantaged students.  
* $160 million to provide all 1.4 million public school students in free breakfast and lunch, saving their families over $850 a year and time every morning.  
* $150 million for individualized tutoring or academic support through the MI Kids Back on Track program. 
* $140.3 million to continue expanded support for special education students, providing a full foundation allowance plus required cost reimbursements for each student.  

* $125 million to fund matching grants for school districts to modernize their bus fleet by switching over to electric vehicles. 
* $94.4 million for literacy-related programs and activities in Detroit public schools. 
* $25.5 million to help students reach their full academic potential, including expansion of existing payments for literacy grants and literacy coaches.  

* $25 million supporting new math intervention programs. 
* $25 million for additional supports for vocational education and career and technical education equipment upgrades. 
* $13.3 million to provide a 50% increase in funding for English language learners.  
* $8 million over two years to establish the Nature Awaits program, providing every Michigan fourth grader with a free field trip to a state park. 

 

“This is another outstanding budget, one that again works hard on funding adequacy and equity,” said *State Superintendent Dr. Michael Rice*. “In addition to a 5 percent foundation allowance increase, big percentage increases for the education of students with disabilities and English learners, and additional funding earmarked for staff compensation, the budget funds greater flexibility and continued expansion of the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) program toward universally accessible pre-school, the implementation of the governor’s MI Kids Back on Track tutoring program for children who are behind in reading or math, universal school meals for students, and an opportunity index to fund high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The budget also funds mentoring for new teachers, new counselors, and new administrators, as well as training for school board members, and transportation reimbursement to help address the cost of transportation, especially for rural districts whose per-rider costs are high. In the 30 years since Proposal A to change the school funding system, Michigan hasn’t had two years of back-to-back funding increases close to FY23 and FY24. Kudos to the governor and state legislature for their work, among that of many others, on the budget front.” 

 

“Thanks to the hard work of Governor Whitmer and leaders in the state House and Senate, our local schools will continue to make progress in attracting and retaining qualified educators who can help our students succeed,” said *Paula Herbart, a longtime teacher from Macomb County and president of the Michigan Education Association*. “It’s critical that we keep great educators on the job and attract talented people into this noble profession, and this budget agreement provides our schools with much-needed resources to help accomplish these goals.” 

 

“The GSRP funding included in this budget is an investment in today's children, who are also tomorrow's workforce here in Michigan, said *Carrie Rosingana, CEO of Capital Area Michigan Works! and chair of the PreK for All Action Team.* “By expanding access to pre-K for more kids and supporting new GSRP classrooms this announcement is a reflection of the state’s continued focus on lowering costs for families, supporting early learning, and investing in the growth and retention of early childhood professionals in Michigan.”  

 

“I’ve spoken to many superintendents across the state and there is a resounding appreciation for the education funding in this year’s state budget,” said *Dr. Tina Kerr, MASA Executive Director*. “These dollars are critical to helping our districts address student and staff mental health, increase school safety measures, and provide specialized learning opportunities. It is essential that public education be funded at this level both now and in the future so that our schools can continue to prepare our students for their own success and for Michigan’s future.” 

 

“Healthy School Meals for All will be transformational for Michigan’s students and families,” said *Collin McDonough, Director of Michigan Government Relations at the American Heart Association*. “Not only will it help students learn—no one can focus on an empty stomach—it will help reduce the risk for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Proper nutrition is a key component of a heart-healthy lifestyle, and having no-cost breakfast and lunch will ensure our students have what they need to succeed inside and outside the classroom. We applaud Governor Whitmer, the state legislature, the Michigan Department of Education, our partner organizations No Kid Hungry Michigan and the School Nutrition Association of Michigan, and the Michigan School Meals Coalition for their tireless work to take this program from an idea to reality.” 

 

“For years, The Alliance has advocated for a budget that invests in equity and supports the individual needs of every Michigan child,” said *Peter Spadafore, Executive Director of the Michigan Alliance for Student Opportunity*. “This budget creates the roadmap for achieving that goal while making significant investments in our most vulnerable learners.” 

 

"Higher Education & Workforce Development"

* $37.8 million for the College Success Fund and wraparound services to improve retention and completion rates. 

 

“Michigan’s 15 public universities and the more than quarter million students they serve will greatly benefit from the budget plan Gov. Whitmer and legislative leaders have crafted,” said *Dan Hurley, CEO of the Michigan Association of State Universities.* “A five percent increase for university operations and an additional $50 million for students receiving the Michigan Achievement Scholarship are among the investments that will improve college affordability for families, the state’s talent pipeline, and the economic prosperity of Michigan.” 

 

"Michigan Community Colleges are proud to play a critical role in the state's talent development strategy," said *Dr. Beverly Walker-Griffea, President of Mott Community College and chair of the Michigan Community College Association board.* "We are grateful for the State’s ongoing investment in the operations of community colleges. We are particularly thrilled about dedicated funding to lower the eligibility age for Michigan Reconnect from 25 to 21. This will be a game-changer in creating a tuition-free pathway to an associate degree at any one of Michigan’s 31 community and tribal colleges." 

 

"Traverse Connect is thrilled to see continued investment in talent development programs like Michigan Reconnect in this budget, along with new incentives for research and development to help keep our state on the cutting edge of freshwater innovation," said *Warren Call, President and CEO of Traverse Connect*.

* $4.9 million over 2 years for Double-Up Food Bucks, boosting access to fresh fruits and vegetables for Michiganders on food assistance. 

 

“With the investments in this FY 24 budget proposed by Governor Whitmer and adopted by the Legislature, Michigan can be the best place to choose to have and raise a baby,” said *Amy Zaagman, Executive Director of the Michigan Council for Maternal and Child Health*. “Ensuring healthy moms and healthy babies is part of our mission and we are very grateful to have leaders who commit to the services and supports that will reduce inequities and improve outcomes.” 

 

*“*I’m delighted to see a budget that allows for greater engagement at the neighborhood and community level,” said *Dr. Phyllis D. Meadows, MSN, PhD, RN, Senior Fellow at Kresge Foundation and Member of the Racial Disparities Task Force Centering Equity Workgroup*. “This degree of proximity to the people and the systems impacting health is needed now more than ever to ensure that we have a greater chance of identifying and addressing health inequities.”  

 

“This year’s budget will be enormously welcome news for local public health departments around the State of Michigan,” said *Norm Hess, Executive Director of the Michigan Association of Local Public Health*. “For the first time in 30 years, this budget covers the state’s mandated share for essential local public health services. We are grateful to the Governor and our lawmakers for taking time to understand our work and our value to communities around the state, and for providing us these critical resources to keep residents safe and healthy." 

 

“Double Up Food Bucks works across the state to help children, families, and seniors use their SNAP benefits to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables,” said *Kate Krauss, CEO at Fair Food Network*. “We are grateful for this level of support to help us continue to bring this essential community resource to Michigan – allowing families to bring home more healthy food, putting more dollars into the pockets of local farmers, and boosting local economies. The process to stabilize funding for the Double Up Food Bucks began with Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Budget Recommendation in early February and we are pleased to see the state's continued commitment to the program in the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development budget.”
