I attended the Consensus Revenue Conference in Lansing January 11th. At this time it appears our students will be funded $6898 per pupil for 2010-2011. That is an additional cut of about $258 from where we are now, but remember we began the 2009-2010 year expecting to be funded at $7316 per pupil and faced a $165 per pupil cut in November. Since next year is an election year, it is anticipated there would be no additional cut – at least until after November.
