We ask for Your continued guidance and wisdom, and to remind us to be responsive to those we are elected to represent.
We ask You to guide each of us as we conduct the people’s business, and to grant us the wisdom and courage to do that which is right for our State and its people. Bestow in each of us the vision of good judgment and fairness, so that Michigan and its citizens will continue to prosper and flourish. In Your name we pray, Amen.”

(1) For 2009-2010, from the state school aid fund appropriation in section 11, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $88,100,000.00 to eligible districts for great start readiness programs. and For 2009-2010, from the general fund appropriation in section 11, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $7,575,000.00, and from the Michigan future fund appropriation in section 11, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $7,575,000.00, for competitive great start readiness program grants. Funds allocated under this section shall be used to provide part-day or full-day comprehensive free compensatory programs designed to do 1 or both of the following:
(a) Improve the readiness and subsequent achievement of educationally disadvantaged children as defined by the department who will be at least 4, but less than 5 years of age, as of December 1 of the school year in which the programs are offered, and who show evidence of 2 or more risk factors as defined by the state board.
(b) Provide preschool and parenting education programs similar to those under former section 32b as in effect for 2001-2002. Beginning in 2007-2008, funds spent by a district for programs described in this subdivision shall not exceed the lesser of the amount spent by the district under this subdivision for 2006-2007 or the amount spent under this subdivision in any subsequent fiscal year.
(2) To be eligible to receive payments under this section, a district shall comply with this section and section 39. To receive competitive grant payments under this section, an eligible grant recipient shall comply with this section and section 32l.
(3) In addition to the allocation under subsection (1), from the general fund money appropriated under section 11, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $300,000.00 for 2009-2010 for a competitive grant to continue a longitudinal evaluation of children who have participated in great start readiness programs.
(4) To be eligible for funding under this section, a program shall prepare children for success in school through comprehensive part-day or full-day programs that contain all of the following program components, as determined by the department:
(a) Participation in a collaborative recruitment and enrollment process. At a minimum, the process shall include all other funded preschool programs that may serve children in the same geographic area, to assure that each child is enrolled in the program most appropriate to his or her needs and to maximize the use of federal, state, and local funds.
(b) An age-appropriate educational curriculum that is in compliance with the early childhood standards of quality for prekindergarten children adopted by the state board.
(c) Nutritional services for all program participants.
(d) Health screening services for all program participants.
(e) Referral services for families of program participants to community social service agencies, as appropriate.
(f) Active and continuous involvement of the parents or guardians of the program participants.
(g) A plan to conduct and report annual great start readiness program evaluations and continuous improvement plans using criteria approved by the department.
(h) Participation in a multidistrict, multiagency, school readiness advisory committee that provides for the involvement of classroom teachers, parents or guardians of program participants, and community, volunteer, and social service agencies and organizations, as appropriate. The advisory committee shall review the program components listed in this subsection and make recommendations for changes to the great start readiness program for which it is an advisory committee.
(i) For great start readiness programs operated by a district or consortium of districts, provide for the ongoing articulation of the early childhood, kindergarten, and first grade programs offered by the district or districts.
(5) An application for funding under this section shall provide for the following, in a form and manner determined by the department:
(a) Ensure compliance with all program components described in subsection (4).
(b) Ensure that more than 50% of the children participating in an eligible great start readiness program are children who live with families with a household income that is equal to or less than 300% of the federal poverty level.
(c) Ensure that the applicant only employs qualified personnel for this program, as follows:
(i) Teachers possessing proper training. For programs the district manages itself, a valid teaching certificate and an early childhood (ZA) endorsement are required. This provision does not apply to a district that subcontracts with an eligible child development program. In that situation, a teacher must have a valid Michigan teaching certificate with an early childhood (ZA) endorsement, a valid Michigan teaching certificate with a child development associate credential, or a bachelor’s degree in child development with specialization in preschool teaching. However, both of the following apply to this subparagraph:
(A) If a district demonstrates to the department that it is unable to fully comply with this subparagraph after making reasonable efforts to comply, teachers who have significant but incomplete training in early childhood education or child development may be employed by the district if the district provides to the department, and the department approves, a plan for each teacher to come into compliance with the standards in this subparagraph. A teacher’s compliance plan must be completed within 4 years of the date of employment. Progress toward completion of the compliance plan shall consist of at least 2 courses per calendar year.
(B) For a subcontracted program, the department shall consider a teacher with 90 credit hours and at least 4 years’ teaching experience in a qualified preschool program to meet the requirements under this subparagraph.
(ii) Paraprofessionals possessing proper training in early childhood development, including an associate’s degree in early childhood education or child development or the equivalent, or a child development associate (CDA) credential, or the equivalent as approved by the state board. However, if a district demonstrates to the department that it is unable to fully comply with this subparagraph after making reasonable efforts to comply, the district may employ paraprofessionals who have completed at least 1 course in early childhood education or child development if the district provides to the department, and the department approves, a plan for each paraprofessional to come into compliance with the standards in this subparagraph. A paraprofessional’s compliance plan must be completed within 2 years of the date of employment. Progress toward completion of the compliance plan shall consist of at least 2 courses or 60 clock hours of training per calendar year.
(d) Include a program budget that contains only those costs that are not reimbursed or reimbursable by federal funding, that are clearly and directly attributable to the great start readiness program, and that would not be incurred if the program were not being offered. The program budget shall indicate the extent to which these funds will supplement other federal, state, local, or private funds. Funds received under this section shall not be used to supplant any federal funds by the applicant to serve children eligible for a federally funded existing preschool program that has the capacity to serve those children.
(6) For a grant recipient that enrolls pupils in a full-day program funded under this section, each child enrolled in the full-day program shall be counted as 2 children served by the program for purposes of determining the number of children to be served and for determining the amount of the grant award. A grant award shall not be increased solely on the basis of providing a full-day program. As used in this subsection, “full-day program” means a program that operates for at least the same length of day as a district’s first grade program for a minimum of 4 days per week, 30 weeks per year. A classroom that offers a full-day program must enroll all children for the full day to be considered a full-day program.
(7) A district or consortium of districts receiving a grant under this section may contract with for-profit or nonprofit preschool center providers that meet all requirements of subsection (4) and retain for administrative services an amount equal to not more than 5% of the grant amount. A district or consortium of districts may expend not more than 10% of the total grant amount for administration of the program.
(8) Any public or private for-profit or nonprofit legal entity or agency may apply for a competitive grant under this section. However, a district or intermediate district may not apply for a competitive grant under this section unless the district, intermediate district, or consortium of districts or intermediate districts is acting as a local grantee for the federal head start program operating under the head start act, 42 USC 9831 to 9852.
(9) A recipient of funds under this section shall report to the department on the midyear report the number of children participating in the program who meet the income or other eligibility criteria prescribed by the department and the total number of children participating in the program. For children participating in the program who meet the income or other eligibility criteria specified under subsection (5)(b), a recipient shall also report whether or not a parent is available to provide care based on employment status. For the purposes of this subsection, “employment status” shall be defined by the department of human services in a manner consistent with maximizing the amount of spending that may be claimed for temporary assistance for needy families maintenance of effort purposes.” and adjusting the totals in section 11 and enacting section 1 accordingly.
The motion prevailed and the amendments were adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Rep. Corriveau moved to amend the bill as follows:

“Sec. 20j. (1) Foundation From the money appropriated in section 11 from the Michigan future fund, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $25,750,000.00 for 2009-2010 to make foundation allowance supplemental payments for 2008-2009 under this section to districts that in the 1994-95 state fiscal year had a foundation allowance greater than $6,500.00. shall be calculated under this section.
(2) The per pupil allocation to each district under this section shall be an amount equal to the product of the difference between the basic foundation allowance for the 1998-99 state fiscal year and $7,204.00 less $271.00 minus the dollar amount of the adjustment from the 1998-99 state fiscal year to 2007-2008 in the district’s foundation allowance, times 50%.
(3) If a district’s local revenue per pupil does not exceed the sum of its foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per pupil allocation under subsection (2), the total payment to the district calculated under this section shall be the product of the per pupil allocation under subsection (2) multiplied by the district’s membership excluding special education pupils. If a district’s local revenue per pupil exceeds the foundation allowance under section 20 but does not exceed the sum of the foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per pupil allocation under subsection (2), the total payment to the district calculated under this section shall be the product of the difference between the sum of the foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per pupil allocation under subsection (2) minus the local revenue per pupil multiplied by the district’s membership excluding special education pupils. If a district’s local revenue per pupil exceeds the sum of the foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per pupil allocation under subsection (2), there is no payment calculated under this section for the district.
(4) Payments to districts shall not be made under this section. Rather, the calculations under this section shall be made and used to determine the amount of state payments under section 22b.
Sec. 20k. If the maximum amount appropriated under section 11 from the state school aid fund for a fiscal year exceeds the amount available for expenditure from the state school aid fund for that fiscal year so that a district’s state school aid is reduced pursuant to section 11(3), the payments calculated allocated under section 20j and made under section 22b shall be considered to be foundation allowance payments for the purpose of determining the maximum number of mills a district may levy under section 1211(3) of the revised school code, MCL 380.1211. However, the amount to be considered a foundation allowance payment for this purpose shall not exceed the amount reduced from the district’s state aid payment as a result of the implementation of section 11(3).” and adjusting the totals in section 11 and enacting section 1 accordingly.
3. Amend page 6, line 7, after “20,” by striking out “20j,”.

From the money appropriated in section 11 from the Michigan future fund, there is allocated an amount not to exceed $25,750,000.00 for 2009-2010 to make equity payments to districts that have a foundation allowance or per pupil payment calculated under section 20, including any adjustment under section 20(19), for 2009‑2010 of less than $7,356.00. The equity payment for a district shall be an amount per membership pupil equal to the lesser of $40.00 or the difference between $7,356.00 and the district’s 2009-2010 foundation allowance or per pupil payment as calculated under section 20, including any adjustment under section 20(19). It is the intent of the legislature that, beginning in 2010-2011, these payments will be included in the calculation of a district’s foundation allowance or per pupil payment under section 20.” and adjusting the totals in section 11 and enacting section 1 accordingly.

Rep. Agema, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

There are many additions to this original bill obtaining money from funds that don’t exist. How can we in good conscience vote for things that come from shadow funds. This will result in higher taxes because the legislature has no ability to actually stop spending money that doesn’t exist.

This is a bad bill made to require a bad vote by legislators for political agenda.”
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
