UPPER MICHIGAN – The Michigan School Finance Research Foundation exists to keep the state’s schools in good condition. Yesterday, the group met virtually to release its first-ever Statewide School Facilities Study results. Data from the study shows school buildings aren’t in bad shape, but upgrades are needed.  Data from the study shows a $22.8 billion gap in funding related to building health, safety and wellness standards.  In 2022, the group began the state-funded assessment of over 2,000 K-12 facilities to make sure buildings were up to date.  Ironwood, Bessemer, Wakefield Marenisco, Watersmeet, Ewen Trout Creek and Ontonagon Schools were included in the study.
