Legislative Impact Platform

Turn legislative proposals into stakeholder action

The platform helps superintendent associations analyze bills, model district-level impacts, and mobilize advocacy outreach -- all in one place.

How It Works

From proposal to outreach in three steps

Association uploads the proposal

Upload a legislative bill and the platform extracts key funding changes, provisions, and impact areas automatically.

Superintendents review district impact

Each district receives a personalized impact analysis showing estimated funding changes, per-pupil effects, and plain-language explanations.

Stakeholders receive targeted outreach

Superintendents generate impact statements and send personalized emails to legislators, board members, and community leaders.

What Districts See

A real example of district-level impact analysis

When an association uploads a bill, each superintendent receives a personalized view of how the proposal affects their district. Below is what a superintendent at Washtenaw County Public Schools would see for SB-123.

Impact Statement

SB-123 proposes a fundamental restructuring of how Michigan allocates state education funding. For Washtenaw County Public Schools and our 7,842 students, the consequences are both immediate and far-reaching. Under the current formula, our district receives approximately $62.4 million in state aid. The proposed legislation would reduce that figure by an estimated $2.4 million annually, a 3.8% cut that cannot be absorbed without meaningful changes to the programs and services our community depends on.

The bill introduces a weighted student funding formula based on socioeconomic factors, which in principle we support. However, the way it is structured simultaneously reduces base per-pupil allocations by $180 per student and transitions transportation funding to a distance-based model that disadvantages suburban districts with wider catchment areas.

Detailed Breakdown

Funding Category	Current	Proposed	Change
Base Per-Pupil Funding	$45.2M	$43.8M	↘ -$1.4M
Transportation Subsidies	$3.2M	$2.9M	↘ -$266K
Special Education Grants	$6.8M	$7.1M	↗ +$306K
Career Technical Education	$2.1M	$1.8M	↘ -$254K
At-Risk Student Funding	$5.1M	$5.9M	↗ +$820K
Net Impact	$62.4M	$60.0M	↘ -$2.4M

Assumptions: Based on current enrollment of 7,842 students (2025-26 count day). Assumes no change in district demographics during phase-in period. Transportation calculations use current route data and distances. At-risk percentages from most recent federal data (47.2%).
