Board recommends delaying acceptance of Section 31aa funds pending legislative clarity
Summary
The Facilities & Finance Committee recommended that the board wait to accept the State's Section 31aa categorical funds for student mental health and safety until potential legislative changes are clarified; the committee noted township tax disbursement delays and that carryover funds can support positions for now.
At its Nov. 10 meeting the Lakeshore Board of Education heard a Facilities & Finance Committee report that recommended delaying formal acceptance of Section 31aa categorical funding from the State for student mental health and safety until possible legislative changes are clarified. The committee met Nov. 4 to review monthly financials and noted delays in township tax fund disbursements.
The committee recommended waiting to accept the Section 31aa funds because pending legislative action could change the terms or availability of that funding. Board materials indicated carryover funds from prior years are available to support current positions in the interim. No formal vote to accept the funds was taken at the Nov. 10 meeting.
