| Changes from FY 2000-01 Year-to-Date: | |
| Items Included by the House and Senate | |
| 1. Infrastructure Payments. The section that was designed to make infrastructure payments to schools never went into effect because of a tie-bar issue. The section is repealed, thus freeing up those funds for other uses within the School Aid Act. | (34,000,000) |
| 2. Proposal A Obligation Payment. Reductions in this line item are necessary due to updated pupil and taxable value estimates. | (30,000,000) |

| 4. School Readiness. The proposal retains the original $72,600,000 yearly appropriation for the standard school readiness program. However, due to funds that will lapse at the end of the fiscal year in the competitive full day program funds, this line item is reduced by the anticipated amount of lapse. | (3,950,000) |
| 5. Elementary Summer School Program. Reduces funding in this line item by the amount expected to lapse at the end of the fiscal year. | (10,000,000) |

| 8. Professional Development. This program is eliminated entirely, beginning in FY 2000-01. | (10,000,000) |
| 9. Golden Apple MEAP Incentive. The
Conference

for prior-year adjustments, and completely eliminated

| Items Included by the House and Senate |
| 1. Infrastructure. Proposal eliminates the section that appropriates $34,000,000 annually to award grants to local school districts for infrastructure projects. This section of the bill was tie-barred to another bill that was vetoed by the Governor, thereby not allowing these funds to be expended. (Sec. 11k) |
| 2. Foundation Allowance Calculations. The proposal includes several technical changes, including elimination of the "catch-up" formula language, since all districts are above the basic foundation allowance; and deletion of language pertaining to paying costs associated with Federal court cases. (Sec. 20) |
| 3. At-Risk Funding. The proposal removes language which required the appropriations in this section to increase at the same rate as the basic foundation allowance. (Sec. 31a(13)) |
| 4. Golden Apple MEAP Awards.
Technical changes are included that allow for schools to qualify for an award even
though they have split grade levels between two different buildings. However, no funding will

| 7. Miscellaneous Sections Not Included. The Conference Report does not include several items, including recalculation of foundation allowances for districts above the "hold-harmless" cap, additional "At-Risk" provisions for Dearborn Schools, recalculation of Gilbraltar Schools' foundation allowance, intent language for restoring funding to Adult Education and Math and Science Centers, and language requiring the Budget Director to review and approve all of the Department of Education's Federal grant applications. |

(Sec. 94a) |
| 10. Membership Count Disputes. The Conference Report includes language discharging any debt owed to the State arising out of a membership count dispute occurring on or before March 1, 1997 (Romulus Schools). (Sec. 18d) |
