MI school district budgets precarious as feds sit on $160M, state misses deadline
Two education budget curveballs could make a mess of public school budgets this year. With the state budget still not passed before school budget deadlines and nearly $160 million in federal funding unexpectedly withheld from schools by the Trump administration, this summer has turned unexpectedly chaotic for the state's school leaders, with sudden uncertainty cast over programs that serve some of Michigan's most vulnerable students. "It is our moral obligation, literally our moral obligation to ensure that we know what the budget will be as soon as possible," said Camille Hibbler, superintendent of Ferndale Public Schools. School districts' boards under state law must pass their budgets before July 1, when the fiscal year starts. But two variables created by local and state government have bedeviled the process, likely meaning boards will be changing passed budgets later in the year: State lawmakers failed to meet their own deadline for passing a school aid budget, meaning districts don't know exactly how much funding they'll end up with. The U.S. Department of Education is withholding billions of dollars from states for school programs meant for vulnerable student populations, including English learners and after-school programs. Michigan's share of money withheld is $160 million, according to the Michigan Department of Education. It's now unclear when states will get that money. Just one of these surprises could strain a budget process. But both? Superintendents say having both funding sources uncertain could spell trouble. "It's a guessing game and it's a really awkward position to put the board in, quite honestly," said Andrew Brodie, superintendent of Flat Rock Community Schools in Flat Rock, a Downriver community. Brodie said school boards and finance offices can try to make educated guesses in setting their budgets, using numbers from the previous school year to approximate how much funding they might have for the upcoming year. Flat Rock is in a fortunate position because it has a fund balance to help make up for any unexpected budget fluctuations, he said. State lawmakers typically pass at least a school aid budget around July 1 to help give districts a measure of certainty as they plan for the next school year, though they have until October to pass a budget. There's been no indication lawmakers are yet close to an agreement, with House Republicans proposing a school aid budget different than what Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has proposed, with money for private schools, and eliminating universal school meals, a program touted by Whitmer as an accomplishment of her administration. On the federal side of the budget debacle, the leader of the Michigan Department of Education, schools Superintendent Michael Rice, decried the nearly $160 million withheld from schools in a news release Wednesday, July 2. According to the department, $64 million of the funding withheld was for educator professional development and $37 million was allocated for before- and after-school programs, with $38 million in funds classified for academic enrichment. The remaining funds are for migrant education and English Learner programs. "Based on past practice, local school districts were rightly counting on this approved funding by July 1 for programs to support migrant education, services for English learners, staff professional development, before- and after-school programs, and academic enrichment," he wrote. Rice added that the department is discussing the issue with "legal counsel" and colleagues around the country. More: Michigan school district agrees to end seclusion after DOJ probe, Free Press investigation In Ferndale, Hibbler said the federal government's unexpected choice puts the district in hot water, with grant funding attached to certain positions. It's possible that the district may have to cut certain after-school tutoring programs if the federal money doesn't come through. "It is very uncomfortable to be able to have a conversation about, 'You might have a job,' " she said. " 'Might' is not OK. Not to mention these are the positions that work with our highest need populations, (such as) special education services. I can't believe we're talking about this." Both Brodie and Hibbler said the disruptions have collided with what's usually a season for planning for school districts, a time to set a vision for the next school year. Instead, they are contemplating worst-case scenarios. "It's unacceptable," Hibbler said.

Jackson County Executive Frank White vetoes special vote for charter assessor
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. has vetoed an ordinance that called for a special election for a county charter assessor. In a letter to Jackson County legislators, White called the special election 'unnecessary and premature' as there are already scheduled elections for which the ballot could be placed on well before its effects would be implemented. Reps. Cleaver, Davids announce federal funding for World Cup security The election would have taken place in November of 2025, with its decision not being implemented until 2028. Instead, White says that the election could be placed on a regular ballot, which would save millions for Jackson County taxpayers. 'This would be the fourth unbudgeted election proposed by this Legislature in less than two years,' he said. 'Not one has passed. Not one has been fiscally responsible. And this one is no different. I support giving voters a say, but we can and should do it in 2026, when it won't cost Jackson County taxpayers a single extra dollar.' That's not the only problem, according to White, either. He says that, aside from the cost of the special election, the proposed ballot also misrepresents the responsibilities of the Charter Assessor. 'Abolished': State Department is laying off over 1,300 employees under Trump administration plan 'The ordinance says the elected assessor would be responsible for taxation in the county. That's just wrong,' White said in his release. 'Under Missouri law, taxation is the job of the collector. The assessor is responsible for valuing property accurately and fairly. If we can't get that distinction right in our founding document, we shouldn't be rushing this to the voters.' However, White did include that he would be in favor of a revised ballot, just not one outside of an August 2026 or November 2026 election. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Fennville sets sights on revising city charter, assuming residents approve
Fennville residents will soon decide on whether to revise the city's charter, following a commissioner vote July 7. Officials passed a resolution that calls for a yes-or-no ballot question on Nov. 5. The question is: 'Shall there be a general revision of the charter of (Fennville)?' If the measure passes, the charter would be revised by a committee — also elected Nov. 5 — and the revised document would then be subject to another public election before being implemented. Revising the charter is the next step in a multi-year plan to update the city's guiding documents, according to City Administrator Katie Beemer. 'As we look at how we do things, we recognized that a lot of our laws and governing documents were out of date,' Beemer said. Updating documents began with a review of the city's zoning ordinance, which the Fennville Planning Commission ended up rewriting essentially from scratch, Beemer said, before adoption in April 2024. The next step was updating and codifying the city's ordinances, expected to wrap up in August. 'We went through our general ordinances and re-edited them,' Beemer said. 'We made some changes, adjusted things, made things more streamlined.' Now, attention turns to the city's charter, originally written in 1961 and last revised in the 1990s. A general revision would 'bring our charter into the modern age,' Beemer said. 'By the end of it, we're going to have a really good set of laws and governing documents,' she said. Beemer said there are some areas officials have in mind for edits, including revising a purchasing policy that requires staff to get commission approval for anything over $1,000, as well as clarifying city positions and organizational charts. 'When you're running a water utility or a sewer utility, sometimes when you need a part, you're not going to find one for less than $1,000,' Beemer said. 'We'd (also) like to formally add (the city administrator) position into the charter." The resolution approved July 7 calls for the conditional election of a nine-member "Charter Commission." Those positions will also be elected Nov. 5, but will be voided if the revision question is voted down. Members of the commission must be residents who aren't officers or employees of the city. According to a memo in the packet July 7, they also can't be directly related to current city commissioners. Residents have until 4 p.m. July 22 to file a nominating petition for the non-partisan position. If fewer than nine people are elected, the remaining positions will be filled by appointment.

If the vote to revise the charter passes, the new commission will first convene the second Tuesday after the election. Members will frame a draft of the charter within 90 days, which will be sent to the Michigan Attorney General's Office for approval. If the document were approved at the state level, it would return to the ballot for approval in a city-wide election. — Contact reporter Mitchell Boatman at mboatman@ This article originally appeared on The Holland Sentinel: Fennville sets sights on city charter in reorganization effort
