"MIDLAND, Mich. — Michigan public schools are emerging from the pandemic with an unprecedented dose of extra funding, according to a new report from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. 

The report breaks down the financial impact of the three major federal COVID-19 relief packages and change in state policy that funds districts for students they no longer educate.
...Among conventional districts, for example, 58% of the federal CARES Act funding went to districts providing only remote instruction as of January 2021.
...Taking into account all sources of extra COVID relief funds, the three districts that received the most extra dollars were 

• Flint, with an additional $51,193 per pupil, 
• Benton Harbor with $29,502 per pupil and 
• Detroit with $26,695 per pupil. 
• The bottom four districts are all below $500 per pupil.
