A Primer on Michigan School Finance
Fourth Edition 2002

C. Philip Kearney and Michael F. Addonizio 		Michigan has been providing aid for public schools since achieving statehood some 165 years ago, back when Michigan's Primary School Fund could afford only three tuition-free months of school per year. Policies have changed since 1837, but school finance remains a complicated issue. The most recent school finance reforms—made in March 1994 with the passage of Proposal A— were first outlined in the Third Edition of A Primer on Michigan School Finance, and the system in place prior to the 1994 reforms was the subject of the first two editions. This new edition updates its 1995 predecessor and will enlighten citizens on the current standing of Michigan's arrangements for school funding.
