6/11/13 - There have been recent news reports stating that â based on the new state educational budget - public school districts in Michigan will be getting an increase of $110 in state per-pupil aid. However Brighton Superintendent Greg Gray says he isnât counting his chickens until theyâre hatched. Gray tells WHMI that reports of school districts getting a $110 increase in per-pupil state aid â which would be a huge shot in the arm for Brighton - are just speculation at this point. Gray says the $110 increase would be great if it happens, but heâs taking it with a grain of salt until the funds are signed, sealed and delivered. Along with a possible state aid increase of $110, Gray and other area districts are also hoping the state approves a pending $50 increase for schools that are among the least funded in the state. All five K-12 Livingston County school districts are among the stateâs most under-funded at around $7,000 per pupil or less in state aid. (TT)
