A must read in order to better understand how the state budget process impacts schools! https://t.co/H60mG3yMX4

It’s tough to plan for the next school year without knowing what funding the state will provide. Schools need a timely budget from Lansing! Help advocate for our kids today. https://t.co/SNJveY6CAt

Today, @GovWhitmer announced she'll allocate nearly $65 million in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act dollars to Michigan school districts, higher education institutions, and other education-related entities most significantly impacted by #COVID19.

Once again federal aid for schools is being held up in Washington because of disagreement on other things. Our schools needed action yesterday, but today will do! https://t.co/EILY1W7qZz

The legislature and Governor deserve credit for addressing the budget shortfall for the school year that was just finished. We have a long way to go to make sure schools have the resources and policies in place to resume safely and meet the needs of students when school begins.

Leaders in DC have put forth proposals allocating dollars to help schools. But there's no movement yet and school starts in just a few weeks. #UrgeCongress to take action now, *before* schools open their doors. #OurKidsOurFuture

A budget deal for the 19-20 school year is a great first step in helping MI schools. But, it doesn't address 2020-2021. Continue to make your voice heard!

Lawmakers are finally turning attention to schools, BUT there are no "done deals." MI still faces a severe budget deficit & up to $700/student cuts.

The statement concluded, "We have a simple message for our elected officials: Lansing, we have a problem. Washington, we have a problem. To reopen our economy, and to maintain our economic growth thereafter, you MUST find a way to hold schools harmless."
