Gov. Whitmer Signs Historic Education Budget Providing Free School Meals, First Steps Toward Free Pre-K for All

Press Release

"Every Michigan child deserves a chance to pursue their potential and build a bright future. This historic education budget will make that possible. This budget puts students first and supports parents by expanding access to free pre-K, providing free breakfast and lunch to all public school students, and improving higher education. Additionally, the budget makes Michigan one of the lowest-cost states to become a teacher, with tuition-free training, student loan repayment, and stipends for those who are completing their student teaching. I am so grateful to the new leadership in the legislature for getting this done. Let's work together to help anyone "make it' in Michigan."
