THIS RESEARCH DEFINED THE POLICY DISCUSSIONS AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS FOR PARTS OF THE YEAR, ULTIMATELY LEADING TO GOVERNOR WHITMER CREATING A COMMISSION TO RECOMMEND POLICY CHANGES THAT COULD ADDRESS SOME OR ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND HELP MICHIGAN RETAIN AND ATTRACT YOUNG FAMILIES. THE CITIZENS RESEARCH COUNCIL PUBLISHED A PAPER WHICH DETAILED HOW MICHIGAN DOES LESS TO SUPPORT HIGHER EDUCATION THAN OTHER STATES ON AVERAGE. IT SHOWED HOW THAT PATTERN OF PUBLIC SUPPORT HAS AFFECTED THE COST TO ATTEND UNIVERSITIES AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES RELATIVE TO THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME LEVELS. IT SUGGESTS THAT FUNDING IS NEEDED BOTH IN SUPPORT OF THE SCHOOLS AND FOR DIRECT SCHOLARSHIPS TO DIRECTLY REDUCE THE END PRICE OF ENROLLMENT. THE CITIZENS RESEARCH COUNCIL ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS THE GO-TO SOURCE FOR ANALYSIS IF THE USE AND ROLE OF COVID RELIEF FUNDING FOR K-12 SCHOOL DISTRICTS. A JANUARY PAPER IDENTIFIED HOW MUCH OF THE FUNDING MADE AVAILABLE HAD BEEN SPENT AND THE REMAINING BALANCE. IT DISCUSSED THE HIGH LEVELS OF FUNDING SENT TO DISTRICTS WITH LARGE ENROLLMENTS OF AT RISK STUDENTS AND THE CHALLENGES OF SPENDING IT ALL IN THE SHORT TIME IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. IT CATEGORIZED THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE FUNDING WAS USED, SUCH AS ONETIME STAFF BONUSES, ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY, UPDATED TEXTBOOKS, NEW CURRICULUM, OR BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS. THE WORK DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF A "COVID CLIFF" THAT COULD OCCUR WHEN THE FUNDING IS FULLY SPENT IF IT WAS USED FOR ONGOING EXPENSES, A PHENOMENON BEING SEEN AT A FEW DISTRICTS. 963737 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 31 31 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 MI X ERIC LUPHER 7345428001 38777 SIX MILE ROAD SUITE 208 LIVONIA MI 48152 ANN D FILLINGHAM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY STAMAS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLEE KVORIAK VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHASE L CANTRELL CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIEL P DOMENICUCCI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EARLE WIN IRWIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN HEARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA M BASSETT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL BRYANT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE N BLUTH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY LYNN FOSTER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DARNELL ADAMS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL HORRIGAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL SHERIDAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICK KHOURI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ORLANDO BAILEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK BURTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD A FAVOR JR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ZENNA ELHASAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHAN W CURRIE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS G KYROS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICK MCGOW DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID PALSROK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW HENRY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KWAFO ADARKWA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARITA HATTEM-SCHIFFMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW JOHNSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CATHERINE KELLY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM KREGEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAUREN LAPINE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA ROBINSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY STOUTENBURG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC LUPHER PRESIDENT/SECRETARY 40.00 X 164351 0 10515 CRAIG THIEL RESEARCH DIRECTOR 40.00 X 115879 0 5549 280230 0 16064 2 0 1 0 0 203520 763685 967205 511279 511279 343532 399496 -55964 -55964 -55964 30930 203520 29506 1424 1424 1423944 0 0 456739 174866 139297 18315 17254 638498 508383 66666 63449 81708 65571 8972 7165 75002 60189 8236 6577 60098 48229 6599 5270 14845 8098 1871 4876 81575 81575 15515 611 14904 32514 7124 3555 21835 59620 48429 11191 69707 55765 6971 6971 3801 744 371 2686 7482 1464 730 5288 6317 3446 796 2075 SUPPLIES AND BOOKS 12617 12617 0 0 PRINTING AND POSTAGE 5286 632 213 4441 PAYROLL SERVICE 4841 2641 610 1590 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTION 911 497 115 299 1345203 963737 150115 231351 50 0 931451 727010 1000 0 2936840 3226252 33691 35893 3903032 3989155 0 0 X 777266 958131 3125766 3031024 3903032 3989155 3903032 3989155 78741 7382 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 792589 776639 1135355 1202892 967205 4874680 19500 1440 8568 14940 30930 75378 812089 778079 1143923 1217832 998135 4950058 0 0 0 4950058 477257 307092 381019 213658 511279 1890305 477257 307092 381019 213658 511279 1890305 1289346 1085171 1524942 1431490 1509414 6840363 0.72370 0.74190 0.27630 0.25810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 1460832 7382 7382 1453450 -29506 -29506 1423944 1374709 29506 29506 1345203 0 1345203 PART X, LINE 2: CITIZENS RESEARCH COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THEREFORE, IS NOT SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX ON INCOME DERIVED FROM ITS EXEMPT FUNCTION.
