I will make a quick update now so you have the basic information. I will update later with more commentary and details as this might (still not a done deal) impact Flat Rock Schools.

Gov. Granholm took her pen to the State budget and slashed another $212 million from the school aid fund. This will translate into a $292 per student cut, up from the legislative proposed budget cut of $165 per pupil.

That means, doing some estimates based on the reported count day numbers and public Flat Rock Community Schools 2009-2010 budget resolutions:

• 1,902 student x $292 = $555,384 reduction in “State Sources,” which is
• $555,384 / $17,665,992 = 3% reduction in “Total Revenues”
