One piece of funding from our state budget that I am excited about is the $475 million set aside for the creation of a school infrastructure and consolidation fund. I’m excited about this because I’m hopeful some of this funding will help Ypsilanti Community Schools pay off the debt it acquired when it grew from the merger of Ypsilanti and Willow Run. By paying down this debt, Ypsilanti Schools will have more money to build or refurbish classrooms, labs and libraries, and improve student outcomes.
