Michigan to rethink special education: Proposed $4.5B plan seeks to fix inequities and improve student services

Michigan is considering a $4.5 billion overhaul of special education funding, proposing a tiered model that allocates $11,000 to $39,000 per student based on their needs. This aims to replace an outdated, underfunded system that has left districts struggling and created disparities for students with disabilities across the state.
