This week the House and Senate passed their versions of the Fiscal Year 2024 school aid budget. I am pleased to announce that I am excited about these recommended numbers. These recommendations are historic in size, scope, and potential impact on the students and families served by Allegan Area ESA.
Some of the key recommendations include:
Historic funding for special education
Increased Early Literacy funding
Groundbreaking changes to Great Start Readiness Program services and funding
Including ISDs (like Allegan Area ESA) eligible for mental health and safety funding
Increased funding to support the well-being of students and staff
I am grateful to the subcommittees, led by former teachers, for their excellent work. I thank our area legislators for continuing to put our students first and placing a priority on their education and well-being. Thus, supporting our vision to "Ensure every learner, school, and community thrives".
I look forward to working together with our legislators to ensure future academic success for all students.
Yours in Education,
William Brown
Allegan Area ESA Superintendent
Ongoing construction at Hillside Learning Center. We are building a new covered bus loading/unloading area on the west side of the building.
Members of the Allegan County School Boards Association toured the Carpenters and Millwrights Training Center in Wayland yesterday. It was an opportunity to learn about the facility prior to this fall's launch of a pre-apprenticeship program for Allegan County students.
On Administrative Professionals Day we honor all of your hard work.
Area superintendents took part in today's final Team Based Leadership Collaborative meeting today. #beboldandthrive
