Lansing State Journal April 25, 2011 Governor’s Proposal - continued “But throw in the $170 cut and higher payments for pension costs and most districts will have to grapple with budgets that shrink 8 percent to 10 percent.”

Lansing State Journal April 25, 2011 Governor’s Proposal - continued “Snyder’s cutting $300 per student so he can use the money instead to pay for community colleges and universities out of the school aid fund rather than the general fund.”
