"Sec. 32s. (1) From the funds allocated in section 11n, there is allocated to eligible
intermediate districts an amount not to exceed $15,000,000.00 from the federal funding
awarded to this state from the coronavirus state fiscal recovery fund under the
American rescue plan act of 2021, title IX, subtitle M of Public Law 117-2, for 2020-
2021 to begin the implementation of and continue the implementation of a program to
provide pre-kindergarten education to eligible children as described in this section for
the 2021-2022 program year. 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.
(b) Had more than 75 percent of assessed third grade students identified as not
meeting proficiency on the English language arts portion of the 2018-2019 state
assessment, as determined by the department.
(c) Had more than 75 percent of pupil membership in 2018-2019 identified as
economically disadvantaged as defined in section 31a.
(d) Is in a city with a population greater than 500,000.

by the department. The application must, at a minimum, contain the number of eligible
children the intermediate district is requesting to serve and the number of eligible
children the intermediate district has the capacity to serve under this section, including
a verification of physical facility and staff resource capacity. Eligible intermediate
districts are encouraged to collaborate with local governments to identify children
eligible for funding under this section. Payments to eligible intermediate districts under
this section must not exceed an amount that the intermediate district has requested and
has the capacity to serve.
(4) Eligible intermediate districts must receive an amount not to exceed $7,400.00
per eligible child enrolled and participating in a full-day program provided under this
section. If a child is enrolled and participating in a program under this section on less
than a full-day basis, the department shall prorate the allocation under this subsection
based on the proportion of a full-day program in which the child is enrolled and
participating. Eligible intermediate districts receiving funding under this section may
contract with local governments to provide services, subject to the program
requirements described in subsections (6) and (7). If the total amount requested by all
intermediate school districts is not sufficient to fully fund all eligible children for which
intermediate districts have the capacity to serve, the number of children receiving
funding under this section must be prorated on an equal percentage basis.
(5) For an intermediate district to receive funding under this section for a
participating child, all of the following must be met:
(a) The child must be at least 4, but less than 5, years of age as of September 1 of
the school year in which the program is offered.
(b) The child’s district of residence must be a district meeting the requirements
described in subsection (2) and the district of residence must be a constituent district of
the intermediate district receiving funding.
(c) The child must not be enrolled in programs funded under section 32d, the
head start program, or a developmental kindergarten program.
(6) Funding under this section must be used for educational programming that
prepares eligible children for success in school and includes all of the following:
(a) Participation in a collaborative recruitment and enrollment process to assure
that each child is enrolled in programming most appropriate to his or her needs and to
maximize the use of federal, state, and local funds.
(b) Age-appropriate educational curriculum that is in compliance with the early
childhood standards of quality for prekindergarten children adopted by the state board.
(c) Nutritional services for all program participants supported by federal, state,
and local resources as applicable.
(d) Physical and dental health and developmental screening services for all
program participants.
(e) Referral services for families of program participants to community social
service agencies, including mental health services, as appropriate.
(f) Active and continuous involvement of the parents or guardians of the
program participants.
(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.
(b) "District of residence" means the district in which an eligible child’s
custodial parent or parents or legal guardian resides.".
