BAY COUNTY: FOLLOW THE MONEY

The $9,608 foundation allowance is only one piece of the funding picture.

Using Michigan Department of Education's 2024–25 Bulletin 1014, here's what each traditional public school district reported in total general fund revenue per pupil:

Bay City: $14,909
Pinconning: $14,768
Bangor Township: $14,137
Essexville-Hampton: $13,379

The graphic breaks down exactly where that money came from — state, local, federal, and other sources.

Same foundation allowance. Different revenue pictures.
