Alger County approves Secure Rural Schools (Title 3) funding allocation, sticking with 80/20 schools–roads split
Summary
The Alger County Board of Commissioners approved the county's Title 3 A and B funding distribution (used to allocate Secure Rural Schools Act payments), affirming the county's standard 80% schools / 20% roads split after discussion about potential 100% allocation.
The Alger County Board of Commissioners voted to approve the distribution of Title 3 (Secure Rural Schools Act) funds for fiscal year 2026, maintaining the county's customary split that directs the majority of the funds to schools and a portion to roads and townships.
Commissioners discussed whether to allocate 100% of the funds or continue the 80/20 split. One commissioner summarized the rationale for the 80/20 approach, saying, "Schools and roads get 80. Gets us the most money," and a motion to approve the Title 3 A and B allocation was moved and seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.
The board did not record a detailed line-item breakdown in the public discussion; commissioners indicated the allocation follows the established formula and that related questions would be answered in closed session if needed.
