Michigan lawmakers deadlocked as school aid budget delay worries districts

Michigan school districts are facing uncertainty as the state has not yet passed a school aid budget with less than two weeks before the new school year. Senate Democrats and House Republicans are at an impasse, each blaming the other for the delay. Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks criticizes Republican House Speaker Matt Hall for the delay, while Hall argues that House Democrats are prioritizing politics over education. The delay puts districts in a challenging position, affecting programs like free school meals and overall planning.
