LANSING - As Monday’s statement said, a total of more than $40 million to support students and schools is at risk unless the U.S. Department of Education reverses its decision that was announced on March 28.
Out of the total of more than $40 million, MDE has paid approximately $24.2 million to the districts based on spending that the districts have reported. Several districts fit into this category, including Flint, which requested $15.6 million and has received $14.2 million.
Another group of districts has not yet sought payment. Without a reversal from the U.S. Department of Education, the districts may not be paid the remaining approximately $17.8 million for which they haven’t already been paid. In addition, MDE would stand to lose $5 million in administrative costs.
All $40 million is in jeopardy unless the U.S. Department of Education agrees to honor the previous extension approval request from the federal government.
The communication from the U.S. Department of Education noted that the department would consider requests for extensions on an individual project-specific basis. MDE will be working with affected districts to determine whether to pursue this option for each district’s outstanding federal funds.
