Section 31aa Funding

State School Aid Act Section 31aa, MCL 388.1631aa, allocates $321 million to support school safety and mental health initiatives. To receive these funds, schools must agree to be subject to a comprehensive investigation and waive certain privileges in the event of a “mass casualty event.” The Michigan Department of Education has updated the opt-in deadline to Sunday, November 16, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. We encourage you to contact a Thrun attorney to weigh all options and determine the best approach for your school.
