LANSING, Mich. Michigan Republicans laid out their plans for school to return in the fall as the state waits for Gov. They proposed a $1.3 billion plan to help K-12 schools reopen during the pandemic, saying districts should have flexibility to start when they want and to offer remote instruction as an alternative if necessary. The one-time funding, including an $800 per-pupil increase to address new costs related to COVID-19, would come from $3 billion in federal relief. That means distriacts need to plan for more than a million dollars in personal protective equipment on their own. They have to budget for teachers and programs on their own and wait it out with Lansing -- on both sides of the aisle.
