Kelley highlighted that the majority of the revenue, approximately 58% or $24 million, is based on the per pupil funding that it received from the State of Michigan. The biggest part of the expenditures, which is 74%, goes to salaries and benefits. That’s slightly higher than the 2023-2024 school year when it was 71%.

Kelley says the School District was able to add $1.3 million to their fund balance during the 2024-2025 school year.
