State Education Leaders Applaud Action by Gov. Whitmer, Legislators
LANSING – Michigan public school children will benefit from an additional $125 million in school safety and mental health grants signed into law Thursday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, state education leaders said.
“We must continue to invest in keeping students and staff safe in Michigan schools and ensuring that children’s mental health needs are supported,” said State Superintendent Dr. Michael F. Rice. “The governor’s approval of this supplemental funding is a positive development. Recurring revenue is critical in the areas of children’s mental health and school safety.”
The $125 million fills some of the gap from a decrease in mental health/school safety funding in the originally passed fiscal year 2025 state school aid budget. After that budget passed, the State Board of Education voted to formally ask state legislators to address school mental health/school safety budget reductions by approving supplemental fiscal year 2025 budget funding. This week the board passed a resolution supporting adequate recurring funding for school safety and mental health.
“I appreciate the additional support from Gov. Whitmer and legislators of critically important dollars to provide school safety and mental health support for the good of our children,” said State Board of Education President Dr. Pamela Pugh. “We will continue to call for that funding to be approved on a recurring basis.”
The legislation signed Thursday was House Bill 5503, sponsored by state Rep. Regina Weiss of Oak Park.
