HB 5800 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

School aid: penalties; exception to minimum days of pupil instruction requirement for inclement weather; revise. Amends sec. 101 of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1701).

HB 5800 amends Michigan's state school aid law to clarify how districts and intermediate districts must report student enrollment and attendance data to receive funding. The bill establishes strict deadlines for submitting these reports and mandates that state aid payments be immediately withheld from any district or intermediate district that fails to comply, with the withheld funds forfeited if the deadline is not met by the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, the legislation revises the rules for calculating state aid when a school does not meet the minimum instructional day requirements due to inclement weather or other conditions, adjusting the attendance thresholds used to determine funding deductions. These changes directly affect local school districts and intermediate school districts by tightening compliance requirements and modifying the financial penalties associated with missed instructional days.
