Summary

The April 2011 Beacon reports that Governor Snyder’s proposed budget omitted Section 22d funding for isolated school districts. The article says the program provided Beaver Island Community School about $114,000 and urges parents and community members to contact legislators before the final vote.

Evidence limits

This is a budget proposal and advocacy report, not proof of final legislative action or the school district’s later appropriation.
