Superintendent: state cut 'Line Item 32p' funding for Great Start Collaborative, some literacy programs

Ionia County Intermediate School District Board of Education · October 9, 2025

Summary

Superintendent Ethan Ebenstein told the board that Line Item 32p — funding the Great Start Collaborative — and some literacy funding were cut statewide, affecting the ISD's budget context.

Superintendent Ethan Ebenstein informed the board that a state budget change removed 'Line Item 32p,' which funded the Great Start Collaborative, and that some literacy funding also was cut statewide.

Ebenstein framed the update as a legislative funding change affecting programs the ISD and local districts use. The minutes record the item as an informational update; the meeting did not include a board action tied directly to replacing or reallocating those funds.

Board members did not record follow‑up actions in the minutes; the superintendent and fiscal staff are positioned to track state guidance and the local budget implications as the funding picture becomes clearer.
