This program is intended to improve kindergarten readiness and subsequent academic achievement for educationally disadvantaged children. (2) To be eligible to receive funding under this section, an intermediate district must contain at least 1 district that is either a member of a community engagement advisory committee in partnership with the department of treasury or that meets all of the following: (a) Assessed at least 10 third grade students in 2018-2019 on the third grade English language arts portion of the state assessment, as determined by the department.

(7) Programs receiving funding under this section must follow the same child health, child safety, child well-being, educator qualification standards, and student-ratio requirements as the great start readiness programs funded under sections 32d and 39, as determined by the department. (8) If the total amount for which eligible intermediate districts are awarded under this section is less than the amount allocated under subsection (1), any remaining funds that were allocated under this section must be distributed to intermediate districts receiving funding under section 32d, pursuant to the formula under section 39. (9) As used in this section: (a) "District" means a local school district, as that term is defined in section 6 of the revised school code, MCL 380.6.

(c) For each tax year beginning on and after January 1, 2023, if the percentage increase in the total general fund/general purpose revenue from the immediately preceding fiscal year is greater than the inflation rate for the same period and the inflation rate is positive, then the current rate shall be reduced by an amount determined by multiplying that rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the total general fund/general purpose revenue from the immediately preceding state fiscal year and the capped general fund/general purpose revenue and the denominator of which is the total revenue collected from this part in the immediately preceding state fiscal year. For purposes of this subdivision only, the state treasurer, the director of the senate fiscal agency, and the director of the house fiscal agency shall determine whether the total revenue distributed to general fund/general purpose revenue has increased as required under this subdivision based on the comprehensive annual financial report prepared and published by the department of technology, management, and budget in accordance with section 23 of article IX of the state constitution of 1963.
